To truly express the potential of digital health, the users (clinicians and citizens), should trust the solutions. Current technologies, such as AI, machine learning and data analytics, are promising to deliver more personalised care but also raise ethical and societal concerns. Citizens wish to control their own data, decide who can and who cannot access them, and for which purpose. Similarly, clinicians should trust the data and the systems in order to use them in their day-to-day practice and so transform the way they provide care. At organization’s level as well, data should flow safely ensuring security and privacy regulations are met and allowing interoperability between systems.

Recent studies show that genetics is playing for around 20% in determining health outcomes, behaviours and lifestyle for 40%, environment for 20% and access to care for 10%. Nevertheless, we are still lacking of models and solutions allowing a comprehensive understanding of the components of the health status of an individuals. Innovative solutions should overcome the data silos, utilise evidences-based models integrating different information sources and parameters and deliver personalised care and advices combining interventions, treatments and self-management.

By the past, some were claiming that technologies were not designed for all and that the “digital divide” was one of the main reasons for a slow deployment of digital health. The ways humans interact with technologies have greatly improved over the past few years. Voice-control, natural language, augmented and virtual reality are completely democratising the access to new technologies and the capacity for each individual, educated or not, young or old, with disability or not, to benefit from it. We will explore several examples of these game-changing technologies in healthcare.
