Synopsis

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has expanded rapidly worldwide, bringing significant economic, social, and health implications. Many countries have increasingly digitalized health services, and ICT is now widely used by healthcare professionals as well as individuals who rely on digital platforms for health-related information and support. While these technologies offer clear benefits in improving access, efficiency, and care delivery, they also present challenges such as digital addiction, reduced physical activity, and concerns over data privacy and misuse. Implications of Information and Communication Technologies for Global Public Health examines the role of ICT in shaping health systems and outcomes on a global scale. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, this book explores both the opportunities and challenges associated with digital health technologies, highlighting their impact on access to care, health behaviors, and service delivery. Covering topics such as pandemic-scale healthcare, ICT and infant mortality, and health microinsurance, this book is a fundamental academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, healthcare professionals, public health practitioners, digital health innovators, policymakers and more.
