Abstract

Digital spaces offer expanded economic and social opportunities to exercise human agency. With increasing numbers of people falling into poverty, it is those same people at the margins who hold the key to global recovery. The term human digital development refers to the exercise of human agency using ICTs, in particular human interactions in cyberspace that offer new ways in which people may lead the lives they choose to live. Being healthy is central for an individual’s capabilities and freedoms to bring about improvements in their lives. The role for human digital development in global health lies in the ways in which artificial intelligent applications are used to support people, their providers and institutions operating in low-resource environments. In this way, digital health enables the use of artificially intelligent technologies to achieve improved health outcomes. Investments in human digital development can create positive cycles of prosperity by spurring economic growth.
