The transition to the use of technology in the provision of health services has been around for a long time, but this is the first time that technology is leading the change. When personal computers became widely available in the 1990s, electronic health (e-Health) emerged. When computers were connected to the network and the Internet, telemedicine and telemedicine services emerged. The emergence of social networks created a space for Health2.0. When mobile phones and then smart phones hit the market, mobile health or mHealth expanded. But since 2010, the use of disruptive technologies has increased so much that these innovations have led to a change in the quality of services for providers and patients.

For this reason, perhaps digital health can be defined as:

cultural changes on how to use transformative technologies to provide digital and realistic data; That these data are accessible by patients and providers and lead to a balanced doctor-patient relationship and decision-making by both.

The use of technology leads to better results in the control of people's health when the existing cultural challenges to its use are known and the new needs that will arise for patients in this situation are predicted. For this reason, there is a need to define digital health in terms of cultural changes.

What will the future health services look like?

With the emergence of new digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, robots, virtual reality and augmented reality, tele-medicine, 3D printing, portable diagnostic devices, health sensors, wearable gadgets, etc., the whole structure of providing health services, as well as the roles of doctor and patient, are changing. It will fundamentally change from the current state.
