Digital health humanities is an emerging interdisciplinary academic field that leverages digital methods and tools to critically analyze health sciences materials for humanistic research.[1][2] As a related discipline to both digital humanities and health humanities, digital health humanities uses social and technical features of digital health technologies, and information and communication technologies (ICTs) to explore research questions related to the patients' experience of health and disease.[1]
The field is distinguished from digital health through its focus on humanistic inquiry and critical analysis instead of purely technological implementations and clinical outcomes. Digital health humanities examines the social, cultural, ethical, and experiential dimensions of digital health technologies and their impact on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems.[1][3]
