Abstract
“Blue sky thinking” is a perfect description for digital health: the potential is clear, the space vast and wide open.

This piecemeal approach makes it difficult to scale effective solutions and realize the full potential of digital in health systems. That would require new partnerships to be forged and digital technology to become integral part of every health system [1].
