Global Digital Health Monitor

About This Project

Summary

The Global Digital Health Monitor (GDHM) is an interactive digital resource that helps countries prioritize & monitor their digital health interventions & enablers, using the WHO/ITU eHealth Strategy Toolkit as its foundational framework. The GDHM includes 23 indicators across leadership & governance; strategy & investment; legislation, policy & compliance; workforce; standards & interoperability; infrastructure; services & applications; and cross-cutting issues like technology & equity.

Goals & Objectives

The GDHM aims to monitor & improve country-level digital health, track digital health system integration, identify funding & technical assistance needs, encourage better stakeholder alignment with development principles, and highlight areas of risk for country-level investment.

Results & Impact

Over 76 countries representing over 40% of the global population have used the GDHM to date in 2024. The World Health Organization is migrating the GDHM into its data environment and will take over administration in 2025 as part of the Global Initiative on Digital Health.
