“…A study pointed out that access to home-based telemedicine was inequitably distributed in the United States owing to the limited reach of fixed broadband in rural areas [ 57 ].

A study described how, without proper planning and safeguards, digital health technologies can contribute to expanding health inequity, widening the digital divide that separates those who can from those who cannot access such interventions [ 64 ].…”

Race and ethnicity have long been considered as one of the causes of the causes of health inequities [ 51 ]; the acknowledged health benefits of eHealth or mobile health initiatives have seen limited application among Black communities [ 1 , 24 , 42 , 45 , 51 , 55 , 61 , 65 , 66 ].…”
