Abstract
This chapter examines the economic impact of digital health innovations in disease prevention, focusing on cost-effectiveness, ROI, and policy implications. As health systems face escalating costs and a rising NCD burden, tools like mHealth, telemedicine, wearables, and AI offer scalable, cost-saving preventive solutions. Drawing on global evidence and modeling, the chapter highlights strong ROI, especially in high-risk populations and LMICs. It reviews economic evaluation metrics, showcases real-world case studies, and addresses challenges including the digital divide and policy gaps. Concluding with policy recommendations, it advocates for inclusive design, sustainable investment, and equity-driven evaluation frameworks to guide future innovation.
