During the World Health Summit, held online and in Berlin from 24 to 26 October, a report was launched concerning digital health governance structures.
In the session “Launch of the Report - The Lancet & Financial Times Commission: Governing Health Futures 2030: Growing up in a Digital World”, panelists outlined the recommendations for digital health governance published by the Lancet and Financial Times after two years of multistakeholder research and consultation. The recommendations include, amongst others, the need for increased recognition of how the digitalised environment is a determinant of health and to invest in digital health system enablers.
In the panel discussion “Unlocking Digital and AI Technologies for Health”, speakers revolved around the topic of digital transformation in the health sector as essential to drive global progress towards universal health coverage.
With the health sector lagging behind in digitalisation, partnerships between global and other international organisations such as emerging organisations, private sectors, ministries, civil society, parliamentarians and legislators are needed to achieve an inclusive digital transformation.
The increasing calls for regulatory standards and best practices for digital health technologies align with in silico community’s goals and broaden the scope of stakeholders demanding stronger digital infrastructure for health.
