Covid-19 has provided the catalyst needed for a culture shift in how health services are accessed and used. New applications based on science languishing in some cases in academia without sufficient cause to disrupt incumbent devices and technologies are now emerging from the shadows. Digital health is the vehicle for 21st century health services and, when the skies clear, rehashed old technologies will give way to more precise and enabling ones which will drive the agile, cost-effective user-driven services people want to access as part of a healthier lifestyle.
