Digital Public Health Role in promoting Mores Sustainable Care practices

Abstract

Abstract As digitalization is progressively permeating all aspects of healthcare. Here we will address how can we address the potential of applying digital tools to public health and discuss some key challenges. We have identified the strategic pillars for a successful European strategy for public health digitalization and we outlined how the approach being pursued by the European Public Health Association (EUPHA) applies to digital health. Here we will link these pillars to the impact on climate change. From a public health perspective, digitalization is being touted as providing several potential benefits and advantages, including support for the transition from cure to prevention, helping to put people and patients at the center of care delivery, supporting patient empowerment and making healthcare system more efficient and mitigate climate change.
