Digital health technology tools are growing and evolving at a rapid pace. These technologies help reinforce the relationship between patient and provider, allow greater access to information and care, and help solve many of the issues we see across health care systems. However, digital health technologies come with a unique set of challenges, some of which include privacy and security considerations.
