Abstract

This article, focused on outlining the digital domain as a "super" social determinant of health, considers the core issues of digital equity (ie, digital access, digital devices, and digital skills) to structure the implications that the digital domain has on human health and well-being. In addition to considering an ever-evolving landscape of digital health, telehealth, and other digital health technologies, we pay particular attention to the influence the digital domain has on patient-provider relationships, as well as the challenges, opportunities, and key considerations that advancements in digital health and technologies have for extending and enhancing direct patient care.
