Abstract

Digital Technologies are creating an unprecedented and disruptive challenge to all aspects of society. Whilst it can be argued that these technologies, like all previous advances in human communications and knowledge, have led to significant improvements in the overall quality of life, these benefits have to be balanced against the potential costs and risks brought about by these developments. This article is a personal opinion/commentary about the impact of digital technologies on public health and the future relationship between citizens and health professionals necessary for a sustainable public health service.
