Digital Health Literacy Toolkit
Digital health literacy comprises the ability to find, understand, and apply health information, and to manage one’s own health by using electronic tools and information sources. Digital health literacy is a foundational element of successful health care transformation and increasingly important to patients, caregivers, and the public.
This toolkit compiles international learnings and practices to support the advancement of public digital health literacy.
