Telemedicine, e-Health, and Digital Health Equity: A Scoping Review

CONCLUSION: In summary, the present paper has discussed Digital Health Equity in Telemedicine and e-Health. Promoting equity of access to healthcare is a significant challenge in contemporary times and in the near future. While on the one hand, the construct "equity" applied to the health context highlights the importance of creating and sustaining the conditions to allow anyone to be able to reach (and develop) their "health potential", it also raises numerous questions on "how this can happen". An overall and integrated picture of all the variables that promote DHE is needed, taking into account the interdependence among the different levels and the mutually reinforcing effects between all of them.PMID:38660571 | PMC:PMC11041391 | DOI:10.2174/0117450179279732231211110248
