What are the different categories of DHS solutions to address COVID-19?

We are currently working to create a taxonomy of the different types of Digital Health Solutions (DHS) that exist to directly address the situation relating to COVID-19. One solution may include several aspects of the categories listed.

Thera are many DHS that are indirectly relevant, but they are not in scope of this activity. There will be separate activities for them in the WP: Going to Digital Health overnight.

We are continuously adding solutions that we become aware about in our analysis and refining the classification. Go to our analytics sections to current status. If we missed any category or if you would like to give us feedback on how we define the category, please fill in this survey.
