Addressing opportunities and challenges in the evolving digital health space to support evidence-based decisionmaking and actions
Advancing digital technologies and increasing the availability of health-relevant data can help facilitate biomedical and health research and innovation, as well as improve access, quality and safety of health and care service delivery. However, to maximise impact, there are a number of challenges related to implementation, evaluation, regulation, governance, policy and stakeholder-engagement that need to be overcome.
RAND Europe’s work addresses opportunities and challenges in the evolving digital health space, as they relate to realising the impacts of data and digital technology advances on:
In doing so we seek to help identify solutions that have a positive impact on the health of populations and on healthcare systems globally. For information about our recent and ongoing work, see below.
The greater availability of health-relevant data and new digital technologies creates avenues for potentially more effective and efficient drug discovery and health-tech innovation. RAND Europe’s work considers associated policy and regulatory priorities for decisionmakers.
Access to genomic, epidemiological, clinical data and data from evaluations of public health interventions has played key roles in responding to public health challenges. RAND Europe's research examines how data and digital technology advances can support efforts to strengthen global resilience and preparedness for infectious disease threats.
Data-related and digital technology advances create opportunities for novel service delivery models, can support data sharing and integrated care, and help efforts to incentivise healthy behaviours. RAND Europe’s work contributes to informed decision making related to translating these new opportunities into service delivery and mitigating unintended consequences.
Let’s start a conversation about how we can work together to find solutions that can positively impact people’s health.
