Abstract

The term digital health describes processes like telemedicine and mobile health that supply healthcare resources, services, and information through electronic technologies. In this review of the literature, previous studies on the effects of telehealth and virtual clinical trials on healthcare are identified and analyzed. The review of the literature also looks at the interactions between cloud technologies and data engineering when applied to a digital-first healthcare strategy. This research design made use of a systematic review. PRISMA was the search engine used for this study. Articles published between 2010 and 2023 were used in this investigation. After applying the exclusion criteria, 11 studies were discovered and assessed using the CASP checklist. The part that virtual visits and remote monitoring can play in situations where receiving treatment in a facility is difficult. Less scheduled outpatient visits were necessary for high-risk obstetrics because of the patient-generated data that was communicated via remote monitoring and smartphones. The telemedicine service was as safe and efficient as receiving care in person. Future research should look at how these interventions might be used to provide and manage contraception, among other services that some patients might find challenging to get.
