ePublic Health

The increasing number of digitized applications raises many questions: How can applications with high benefit potential be identified? How can these applications be quickly introduced into everyday care so that they actually provide benefits? The interdisciplinary perspective of public health can profitably mediate in the discourse between technological, individual medical and population-related perspectives and interests. At the same time, digitization can enrich the perspective of public health and the implementation of public health interventions, opening up new ways to collect data on the status quo as well as the dynamic course of health and disease in the population and specific subgroups. The work presents many facets of the potential that digitization has for prevention and health promotion. Concepts are clearly presented.
