W ho are we leaving behind as we move further into a digital world? In the information age, digital technology is ubiquitous in nearly all aspects of human life. Can we truly walk together into the future? In the 1900s Mead posited that a healed femur is the first sign of civilization. In that vein, health is at the foundation of all human pursuit. Where do the ubiquitous and fundamental meet? "Digital health" lies at the intersection.This study examines digital health -accessing health care services digitally -in three aspects: its potential in India, extant public health infrastructure, and its need in marginalized communities. The study explores the major challenges in the field and offers recommendations for conceptual solutions to professionals working in digital health, students, physicians, and policy makers."Digital health" is the use of information and communication technologies in medicine and other health professions to manage illnesses and health risks and to promote wellness [1]. Amongst other digital technologies, mobile phone technology would form the base of a Maslowian pyramid, a theory of motivation which states that five categories of human needs dictate an individual's behaviour. The demand for mobile phone technology as reported by the Indian Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), states that people in rural regions spend almost the same percentage of their household budget (25%) on mobile phones as urban residents (26%) [2]. Significantly, the Pradhan Mantri Grameen Digital Saksharta Abhiyan (PMGDISHA), the Indian government's largest rural digital access program, states on its website their aim to make at least one person in every family digitally literate, with a goal to train 60 million rural resident adults by 2020.
