Enhancing Community Health Outcomes Through Digital Health Technologies: A Public Health and Health Administration Approach

Abstract

Digital health technologies have the potential to revolutionize healthcare delivery, particularly within communities where access to care is limited or health disparities are prevalent. This paper explores the intersection of public health, health administration, and digital health technologies, focusing on their role in enhancing community health outcomes. By leveraging innovations such as telemedicine, mobile health applications, electronic health records, wearables, and artificial intelligence, communities can achieve better health outcomes, improve care delivery, and reduce health inequities. This manuscript provides an overview of these technologies, their impact on public health, and the role of health administrators in effectively implementing and managing these tools. Challenges, including digital access barriers, data privacy concerns, and adoption hurdles, are also discussed. Ultimately, digital health technologies represent a vital tool in transforming public health approaches, improving healthcare access, and addressing social determinants of health.
