Evaluation of Improvement in urban health through digital innovation

The application of digital innovation in urban areas is becoming increasingly prevalent. Digital innovation provides the opportunity for health improvements as a result of greater exposure to health information and knowledge through social media, apps and other mediums. For this reason, it is important to evaluate whether or not digital innovation in urban areas has led to better health outcomes. Studies have found that ,it may be linked to reduced obesity rates because there are applications that promote healthy food choices and exercise routines. However, there is not enough data on the long-term effects of these innovations so far. Although there may be some benefits of increased accessibility to health information through digital means, without proper assessment and evaluation, more problems can arise as a result of unbalanced interventions.
