The Digital Doctor: How Digital Health Can Transform Healthcare discusses digital health and demonstrates the appropriateness of each technology using an evidence-based approach. It serves as a comprehensive summary on current, evidence-based digital health applications, future novel digital health technologies (e.g., mobile health, blockchain, web3.0), as well as some of the current challenges and future directions for digital health within the various medical subspecialties. This book is a comprehensive review of digital health for clinicians, researchers, bioinformatic students, biomedical engineers interested in this topic.
- Provides a history and overview of the various modalities of digital health and their application within each field of medicine as narrated by leading experts
- Discusses current digital health-based medical research, including landmark trials within each field of medicine
- Addresses current knowledge gaps that clinicians commonly face that often prevent the application of digital health-based research to clinical practice
- Provides examples of specific cases and discusses challenges and biases associated with digital health
Clinicians (all specialties), academicians, healthcare professionals, researchers, students, engineers, scientists, and practitioners working in medical research using artificial intelligence and machine learning for predicting trends of various diseases

"...a broad overview of digital tools in health care, ranging from those that are currently used and available to those that are speculative. This book provides an overview and practical examples of digital health tools in primary care and subspecialties. It contains both broad overviews of concepts, like blockchain and metaverse, and specific applications for a variety of subspecialties and conditions. Its structure allows interested individuals to select the degree of detail desired, accomplishing its goals for a spectrum of entry levels.... a well-written overview of digital health tools spanning broad concepts and overviews to applications in specific specialties and conditions. Practicing physicians can likely find information relevant to them but will find much the volume to be outside their scope, their power to implement, or their ability to overcome prohibitive barriers.... Anyone curious about current and future transformation in healthcare delivery will find well-organized, comprehensive information on available and future digital tool applications."
