Digital Health Tools ..Digital health has evolved rapidly since the concept was first introduced in 2000 by Seth Frank. The FDA considers digital health as a broad scope that includes categories such as mobile health, health information technology, wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, and personalized medicine3 , a definition we follow in this article. Indeed, the numbers of digital health solutions are booming, for example, more than 300,000 health applications exist with more than 200 added daily4 . Digital solutions can be grouped as follows, based on potential risk to patients5 : (1) Solutions that improve system efficiency but with no measurable patient outcome benefit; (2) Mobile digital health, that inform or deliver basic monitoring, and encourage behavior change and self-management; (3) Clinical decision support (CDS), and prediction models, that guide treatment, deliver active monitoring, calculate and/or diagnose.
