More than half a billion people worldwide are living with some form of cardiovascular disease.
Increasingly sedentary lifestyles, poor diets and a rise in tobacco use – all key risk factors for cardiovascular disease – mean this number will continue to grow unless we can implement effective interventions that support CVD prevention and improve care.
Digital health technologies help us address the challenges that health systems face today. They can empower patients and health providers, promote universal health services coverage, improve long-term patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs.
