Qualitative Exploratory Study on Digital Healthcare in Chengdu, China

In the last 20 years, China has experienced an epic digital transition that has fundamentally altered many sectors, and healthcare is one of those that has been changed the most drastically. Since the nation has been adopting state-of-the-art technology, including telemedicine, mobile health apps, and AI-based diagnostic aids, healthcare has taken a new turn. The technologies are not just a fad because they are critical to bettering the provision of healthcare, access, and streamlining of healthcare services, particularly in underprivileged regions. The implementation of digitally-based health technologies has immensely transformed Chinese healthcare provision to rely less on in-person consultation, and instead resort to more distant healthcare options that are available to more people.
