Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we critically discuss whether digital technology can address health inequities. We reflect on the role technology plays in support of an economic model that produces increasingly significant socio‐economic inequalities, both within and across countries. We focus in particular on the role that technology plays in deepening the historical North/South chasm, briefly analysing economic, political, social, and cultural implications. We conclude by emphasizing how technology can indeed be a useful tool, but only when it is embedded in popular action or policies that redistribute power and resources.
