World Heart Federation Roadmap for Digital Health in Cardiology

The World Heart Federation Roadmaps are central to its mission to address the global burden of cardiovascular disease. They provide comprehensive frameworks for countries and regions to identify key barriers as well as implement evidence-based policies and health system strategies to prevent premature cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Digital health technologies hold significant potential to address many of the challenges that health systems are facing today. They can empower patients and health providers, promote universal health services coverage, improve long-term patient outcomes, and reduce healthcare costs. However, a range of fundamental barriers can obstruct the successful implementation of digital health solutions.

The WHF Roadmap for Digital Health in Cardiology reviews the latest scientific evidence and offers guidance on priority policies and interventions to support the effective implementation of digital health in cardiovascular care.
