The book is the result of two years researching, structuring, collecting, and writing details around a central subject of our days: digital. Healthcare is as old as mankind and for decades has neither changed nor adopted digital options to a reasonable degree. As in many other spheres of our lives, digital in health has the power to improve many aspects of delivery of healthcare and consequently improve patient's lives.

Maybe some of the players in healthcare find the idea getting connected harmful to their business model. At least digital means leaving the comfort zone for many. Besides telling about the digital past and present, Digital in Health defines, gives ideas, triggers concepts, and reflects business cases already existing.

The word digital already reaches into every corner of our daily life. None of our today's lives could continue to function as it is, without leveraging and using all these digital tools and applications we daily use.
