Digital health interventions refer to the use of digital technology and connected devices to improve health outcomes and healthcare delivery. This includes telemedicine, electronic health records, wearable devices, mobile health applications, and other forms of digital health technology. To this end, several research and developmental activities in various fields are gaining momentum. For instance, in the medical devices sector, several smart biomedical materials and medical devices that are digitally enabled are rapidly being developed and introduced into clinical settings. In the pharma and allied sectors, digital health-focused technologies are widely being used through various stages of drug development, viz. computer-aided drug design, computational modeling for predictive toxicology, and big data analytics for clinical trial management. In the biotechnology and bioengineering fields, investigations are rapidly growing focus on digital health, such as omics biology, synthetic biology, systems biology, big data and personalized medicine. Though digital health-focused innovations are expanding the horizons of health in diverse ways, here the development in the fields of medical devices, pharmaceutical technologies and biotech sectors, with emphasis on trends, opportunities and challenges are reviewed. A perspective on the use of digital health in the Indian context is also included.

“…With so few applications thoroughly explored, especially in the medical device arena, there is room for thermal imaging to quickly become a subtle part of our everyday lives quickly. Jones et al 194 designed a cantilever-based uncooled IR imager that was developed utilizing a novel optical readout scheme based on interpixel interference. Small arrays (approximately 100 × 100 pixels) were fabricated using 8 in.…”

Incorporating nano-and microelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS)-based sensors in clothing and developing more compact and flexible devices have gained popularity recently. NEMS/MEMS-based bolometers/sensors have gained significance due to their high sensitivity and accuracy in measuring physical parameters such as temperature, humidity, pressure, and infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiations. When worn on the body, bolometers can be employed in various applications such as environmental monitoring or health tracking. This review highlights the progress of smart wearable bolometers as NEMS/ MEMS-based sensors in the healthcare industry. Instead of visiting multiple healthcare facilities or devices, now people can assess their health status by measuring body temperature, sensing motion, respiratory functioning, blood pressure, oxygen levels of the blood, and heart functioning by integrating these devices into fabriclike garments, socks, shoe insoles, wrist watches, and other pieces of clothing. The article concludes by describing their varied challenges and possible solutions and prospects.

“…This could range from using electronic health record (EHR) forms that are completed at critical steps along a patient’s journey, to valid wearable devices which constantly collect patient data or patient apps which are completed in real time. 22 , 23 Artificial intelligence techniques, such as natural language processing, may support a more flexible data interpretation paradigm, where events of interest can be extracted from free text into a target schema. In this new age of data-driven decision making, establishing this infrastructure will be critical for automatic, comprehensive and high-quality data collection.…”
