Integrating Digital Health Solutions to Enhance Public Health Services: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Digital health solutions, such as telemedicine, mobile health applications, electronic health records, and AI-based diagnostics, are increasingly integrated into public health services worldwide. However, the effectiveness and efficiency of these digital interventions in enhancing public health outcomes remain underexplored. This study conducts a comparative analysis of various digital health solutions to assess their impact on the quality, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness of public health services. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, data were collected from case studies, healthcare databases, surveys, and expert interviews. The findings reveal that while digital health solutions can significantly improve patient outcomes and service delivery efficiency, challenges related to technology adoption, data security, and healthcare disparities persist. The study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting best practices and recommending strategies for effectively integrating digital health technologies into public health frameworks. Future research should focus on longitudinal studies to assess the long-term impact of these solutions and explore innovative approaches to address the challenges identified.
