Overview

Digital health is a multidisciplinary area that encompasses many domains including health IT, mobile health, wearable devices, telehealth, and personalized medicine, as well as the data infrastructure and ecosystem to enable integration and analysis of data from these technologies. Digital health approaches can significantly advance the assessment, monitoring, and understanding of cancer risk factors and determinants and increase participant reach and engagement in cancer research.
