Oxford Open Digital Health Supplement: Health Impact, Efficiency Gains, Costs, and Savings from Digital Health Interventions
Sponsored by Digital Square, this supplement in Oxford Open Digital Health focuses on the health impact, costs, savings, and cost-effectiveness of digital health interventions.

Compiling examples of research evaluations along with an overview of methods, a new evaluation framework from the World Bank, and a commentary arguing the need and demand for more such evaluations, this supplement illustrates that these types of quantitative impact and cost analyses are both feasible and necessary to drive digital health forward.
The open-access supplement includes:
