5 Key Insights from the Report

  1. Digital health can cut emissions at scale by reducing the need for travel, in-person visits, and the heavy infrastructure of traditional care.
  2. Technologies like telehealth, remote monitoring, and smart diagnostics are essential levers for decarbonizing healthcare systems worldwide.
  3. With the right strategy, digital health can help build a “thrivable” health system—one that actively enhances human and environmental well-being, not just minimizes harm.
  4. Environmental accountability must be built in. Some digital tools—especially energy-intensive AI—can have hidden carbon costs rivaling that of a car’s entire lifecycle.
  5. Sustainability and innovation must go hand in hand. It’s not just about adopting new tech; it’s about doing so responsibly, with a focus on long-term planetary health.
