Inequities in Health Care Services Caused by the Adoption of Digital Health Technologies: Scoping Review (2021, background): “…those who develop and apply these interventions, including policymakers and public health professionals, should have a better understanding of whether, how, and under what circumstances digital health technology interventions can overcome inequities and realize their potential [19,40,51,61].”
