“…In a study by Park Nayeong (2023), it was highlighted that in order for the elderly to adopt and participate in digital new technologies in the long term, an integrated operating system should be established. This is because a mixed service approach that appropriately mediates face-to-face and non-faceto-face services has the greatest impact in terms of effectiveness evaluation, as the service recipients are similar [20]. In the local community, a mixed service approach combining face-to-face and non-face-to-face services can increase the participation and utilization rates of public health management services and, furthermore, provide high-quality services by collaborating with the welfare sector.…”

South Korea is promoting digital healthcare services in the public sector. One notable initiative is the “artificial intelligence and the internet of things (AI–IoT)-based healthcare project for senior citizens”, which was implemented by the Korea Health Promotion Institute (KHPI). This project utilized an IoT-based digital healthcare service that integrates information technology and screen-based AI speaker functions. Services through this project are intended for senior citizens aged 65 years (or older) who face challenges in visiting public healthcare institutions owing to limitations on outdoor activities, especially in the post-coronavirus 2019 era. This article shares the recent outcomes of this project and outlines the mid-to-long-term development strategies for this style of South Korean digital healthcare initiatives.

“…Despite the recognition of the imperative to reduce entry barriers to digital health, there is a notable deficiency in research that employs theoretical frameworks to explore the issues of digital health equity. In response to the recent increase in research emphasizing the need to address health disparities resulting from digital inequality, there is growing recognition of the importance of digital health equity [4,6,8,38].…”

“…Infrastructure development for integration with healthcare systems [19] Support for the availability of digital devices such as smartphones [22] Adoption of community preferred technological norms (cultural accessibility) [26,34] Expansion of connections to other apps [26] Moreover, it was acknowledged that older people, owing to their lower confidence in using digital devices and reduced accessibility compared to other age groups, require consideration of their characteristics [19]. Notably, digital health literacy not only enhances the ability to understand and utilize health information but also involves proficiency in using digital devices to instill a sense of digital efficacy and confidence in individuals [38]. There-fore, education that is tailored to the unique features of digital health must be developed.…”

Technological advances have increased the availability of diverse digital health services. However, digital health benefits are not equally accessible. Recent studies have focused on digital health equity. Researchers are progressively identifying digital determinants of health (DDoH) to address potential health disparities stemming from digital health. This study investigated the determinants of disparities in app-based digital health within the framework of an ecological model. The method proposed by Arksey and O’Malley was adopted in this review. The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases were searched from January 2016 to December 2021. Two reviewers independently screened and selected topics according to the guidelines for the scope of the topic. A consensus was reached to reconcile the differences, and the findings were collated, synthesized, summarized, and reported. This study identified 21 studies pertaining to health equity in app-based digital health. Seven countries were included in this study. Health inequities caused by the adoption of app-based digital health can be reflected in the following three levels according to the ecological model. At the individual level (N = 20), it was influenced by sociodemographic characteristics and digital literacy factors. At the interpersonal level (N = 10), factors such as feedback mechanisms, monitoring, communication modalities, technology-sharing practices, and standardized design were observed. At the community or social level (N = 7), disparities were noted in residential locality, integrated network infrastructure, and Internet accessibility. Finally, digital health policies should consider determinants of digital health inequalities. Ensuring health equity in digital health requires the equitable implementation and measurement of health outcomes through an equity lens. Based on the findings of this study, it is essential to maintain a continued focus on digital health to prevent the further widening of health disparities.
