It has generated an overview on the\nbenefits, harms, acceptability, feasibility, resource use and equity\nconsiderations of digital health interventions. It also provides insights for\nresearchers engaged in designing, developing and validating the digital interventions.\nThe guidelines are also foreseen to greatly impact the future research for\ndigital applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is certain that digital solutions support\npatients and physicians in achieving their medical goals. They have been also increasingly\nadopted in health care. However, data is lacking on the impact of digital\napplications on health care. As number and types of digital solutions\nincreasing, there is an immediate requirement to develop evidence-based\ninsights for the integration of these solutions in medical practices. This paper provides an overview of the\nguidelines and insights for researchers engaged in the development and\nvalidation of digital interventions. It also recommends that the digital tools\nshould be developed and implemented in accordance with the principles of\ndigital development. It extends guidance for building a supportive environment for\nbetter adoption of digital health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using digital means to complement the\ntraditional education, in training and education of healthcare professionals is\ndefinitely recommended. However studies evaluating the validation of learning\ncontent are limited that makes it difficult to draw firm conclusions. Researchers\nneed to be vigilant in using over increasing digital tools. Additionally, sustained\nefforts are demanded in the development of novel digital tools that could\nbenefit both patient and physicians in health care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jandoo T.
