However, as with digital solutions to healthcare systems, the tremendous potential for presenting improved services comes with corollary issues regarding equity, access, and health disparities. Thus, this research investigates how DT has shaped general healthcare delivery solutions, emphasizing the effects on disparate populations. Reading the available literature and the available case and quantitative data on the impact of digital healthcare solutions, this research describes and evaluates the role of digital solutions in tackling healthcare disparities. Moreover, it also identifies ways to address the challenges to equitable and efficient healthcare delivery through technology.
