Increasing transparency on the cost of digital health transformation

Understanding the digital health market is critical for ensuring that appropriately designed, affordable, high-quality digital products are produced to improve health outcomes among vulnerable populations. Digital Square works to demystify the market by publishing research to better understand what contributes to a healthy, functioning market for digital health and developing resources to support more open, transparent, country-led planning around the financing of digital transformation efforts.

This document summarizes three resources—a conceptual framework for digital health investment, a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) tool, and a Sustainability Calculator—which have been created by Digital Square in partnership with other digital health experts to promote a more transparent and data-driven digital health ecosystem.
