These technologies have expanded the scope of healthcare from simply treating illness to promoting health and preventing disease.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEarly adopters, both providers and recipients of the digitally enabled services, have reaped the advantages of their introduction; however, these technologies have not yet been adopted by the country as a whole. For that reason, and especially with the decline in the working-age population, the government has adopted measures to promote and facilitate the use of digital technologies for health and wellbeing. Those and other steps are being taken to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of health and wellbeing services.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis book introduces the current status of the use of digital technologies to promote the health and wellness of recipients.
