Digital Health Inequity: Identifying Positive Outliers and Best Practices among LMICs

• The future of healthcare is digital, from telehealth and diagnostics to outbreak prediction, resource management, and electronic health records 1. But disparities in infrastructure, policy, and workforce readiness pose a significant threat to global health equity 2. • This exploratory project examines differences in digital health infrastructure, with an eye toward "positive outliers," low-and middle-income countries that are effectively incorporating digital health technologies despite economic constraints. • Using a case study approach, we identify "best practices" that set these positive outliers apart. • More work is needed to identify and implement these best practices to avoid exacerbating global health inequities 3 .
