Digital health is a multidisciplinary area involving multiple stakeholders, including physicians, academics and scientists with a wide range of experience in education, engineering, social sciences, public health, health economics and data management. As the outgrowth of the digital revolution characterized by the mass production and widespread use of digital logic circuits and their related technologies, including computers, digital mobile phones and the Internet, the key elements of digital health include wireless devices, hardware sensors and software sensing systems, microprocessors and integrated circuits, the Web, the social network.

Various areas of digital health. These include evaluation and analysis of healthcare technologies for the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of illnesses, patient management, recovery or long-term care. These technologies include, but are not limited to, assistive technology and therapy robots for people with disabilities to assist in their independence in conducting daily tasks, discreet tracking sensors and wearable devices. Clinical decision-making helps physicians at the point of care, including diagnosis, review and evaluation of patient-related data. Computational models, modeling and machine learning methods will predict health outcomes. E-health provides health information.

Health systems engineering applications in health care systems include knowledge discovery, decision-making, optimization, human factors engineering, quality engineering, and information and communication technology. Human-computer-environment interactions Human-computer interaction concepts tend to be based on user-centered, experience-centered, or activity-centered designs. Virtual reality, video gaming therapy, and dangerous games to provide student health care and patient education with social and interactive experience. Speech and hearing systems for natural language processing, speech recognition techniques and medical devices that aid in speech and hearing. As per The digital health Cost and Utilization Project, hospital stay is more expensive with average per stay cost which is being approximately USD 11,259. Home digital health is cost-effective than hospital stays.
