Abstract
The healthcare landscape is undergoing a revolutionary transformation, thanks to the advent of the Digital Health Ecosystem. This interconnected landscape of multiple stakeholders is reshaping the way healthcare service providers approach healthcare delivery and patient care.

Introduction
With the birth of the digital age and the focus on providing better medical care, more efficiently at affordable cost, the healthcare industry is experiencing a profound shift towards innovation &efficiency, with the emergence of the Digital Health Ecosystem. This intricate web of medical devices, policies/regulations, hospital ecosystems, digital tools/technologies, data-sharing platforms, & interconnected devices has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by offering personalized & data-driven solutions that improve patient experiences and outcomes while maintaining costs. In this white paper, key components of the Digital Health Ecosystem Framework and Engagement model, which defines the upstream as well as downstream effects, have been developed.
The following illustrative framework provides a holistic view of the engagement model and is an attempt to provide the end-to-end view of the Digital Health Ecosystem as seen through the lens of Mecomed.
At Mecomed, we strongly believe that the Digital Health Ecosystem requires multi-stakeholder engagement and collaboration across various channels to deliver the outcomes and benefits to the patients, physicians, hospitals, payers, policy makers and society at large. Fundamentally, the patient needs to be at the center of the ecosystem. The end-to-end patient pathway and experience at every touchpoint is essential to deliver the value-based healthcare that all patients deserve. Enhanced diagnosis options, treatment through AI-powered tools and timely interventions and personalized treatment plans are fundamental to the digital health delivery, which is only possible through stronger collaboration and partnership of the upstream channels, as illustrated in the framework.
