Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) released the global strategy report on digital health (2020-2025) in Geneva in 2019, which established the priority of the digital health strategy and formulated strategic objectives, guiding principles, action framework and implementation plans to promote the development of global digital health, and to achieve universal health coverage and the health-related sustainable development goals. Despite China's rapid development in the field of digital health, there is still a big gap between the realization of the goal of digital health. Therefore, it is urgent to grasp the major historical opportunity and step into a new era of digital health with the support of digital technology platform.

WHO于2019年在日内瓦发布了数字健康全球战略报告(2020—2025年),确立了数字健康战略的优先地位,制定了战略目标、指导原则、行动框架和实施计划等,旨在推动全球数字健康的发展,努力实现全民健康和与健康相关目标的可持续发展。我国在数字健康领域发展较为迅速,但距离实现数字健康的目标仍存在较大的差距。因此亟须把握数字健康发展的重大历史机遇,以数字技术平台为支撑,加快我国迈进数字健康新时代。.
