Abstract:
South Asian individuals experience a higher burden of chronic diseases and limited access to health care services compared with their Caucasian peers. Digital health interventions can enhance the delivery of health care, minimize health inequities, and consequently improve health status among minority ethnic groups. However, it is unclear how South Asian people view and perceive the use of digital health technologies to support their health needs. Thus, the aim of this review is to identify South Asian individuals' experiences and attitudes of digital health and explore the barriers and facilitators affecting their use of digital health services.
