To develop guidance for stakeholders on how best to deploy digital health and data and support public health in an integrated manner to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic and future pandemics.
Themes were determined by first reviewing the literature and Riyadh Global Digital Health Summit conference proceedings, with experts independently contributing ideas. Then, 2 rounds of review were conducted until all experts agreed on the themes and main issues arising using a nominal group technique to reach consensus. Prioritization was based on how useful the consensus recommendation might be to a policy maker.
A diverse stakeholder group of 13 leaders in the fields of public health, digital health, and health care were engaged to reach a consensus on how to implement digital health recommendations to address the challenges of current and future pandemics. Participants reached a consensus on high-priority issues identified within 5 themes: team, transparency and trust, technology, techquity (the strategic development and deployment of technology in health care and health to achieve health equity), and transformation. Each theme contains concrete points of consensus to guide the local, national, and international adoption of digital health to address challenges of current and future pandemics.
The consensus points described for these themes provide a roadmap for the implementation of digital health policy by all stakeholders, including governments. Implementation of these recommendations could have a significant impact by reducing fatalities and uniting countries on current and future battles against pandemics.

主题是通过首先回顾文献和利雅得全球数字健康峰会会议记录来确定的,由专家独立提出想法。然后,进行了两轮审查,直到所有专家都对使用名义小组技术达成共识的主题和主要问题达成共识。确定优先次序的依据是协商一致建议对决策者可能有多有用。
由13位公共卫生领域领导者组成的多元化利益相关者团体,数字健康,并参与卫生保健工作,就如何实施数字卫生建议以应对当前和未来大流行的挑战达成共识。与会者就5个主题中确定的高度优先问题达成共识:透明度和信任,技术,技术(在卫生保健和卫生中战略开发和部署技术,以实现卫生公平),和转型。每个主题都包含着指导地方的具体共识点,国家,以及国际上采用数字健康来应对当前和未来大流行的挑战。
为这些主题描述的共识点提供了所有利益相关者实施数字卫生政策的路线图。包括政府。这些建议的实施可以通过减少死亡人数和团结各国共同应对当前和未来的流行病而产生重大影响。
