Digitalization in medicine is already being welcomed by some as a revolution and a deliverance, while others are still tending to take a more critical view of it. Digital tools are certainly still unfamiliar to the majority of physicians, and their potential benefits may not be immediately clear. As digitalization continues to advance, however, several exciting developments are emerging that may also be of interest in gynecology, and in particular for gynecological oncology and breast medicine. This note aims to outline a few examples in three areas: wearables, telemedicine, and "big data." Two other areas of development - digital follow-up and digital knowledge transfer - are also discussed in more detail.
