Abstract

The integration of digital health tools into clinical practice has revolutionized healthcare delivery, enabling improved patient outcomes, streamlined workflows, and enhanced evidence-based decision-making. This paper examines the current landscape of digital health technologies, including EHR systems, telemedicine platforms, and wearable devices, highlighting their benefits and the challenges practitioners and institutions face in their adoption. The transformative impact of these tools on clinical practice is explored, emphasizing their role in improving care coordination, supporting evidence-based interventions, and addressing ethical and regulatory considerations. Future directions focus on emerging innovations such as AI-driven diagnostics and blockchain technology, alongside strategies for fostering sustainable integration through collaboration and policy development. The paper concludes with actionable recommendations to overcome barriers such as interoperability issues, access inequities, and data security concerns. By addressing these challenges, healthcare systems can harness the full potential of digital health tools, advancing toward a more efficient, equitable, and patient-centered model of care.
