Today PLOS Digital Health has published its first-ever thematic collection, ‘The Digital Determinants of Health’, a set of reviews covering the digital determinants of health and highlighting potential pitfalls to access and equality in technology-enabled healthcare. As the first collection published, we believe that signaling the journal’s focus on equity and explicit mission to improve healthcare delivery should be paramount. As this collection affirms, the potential for meaningful improvement in access to care through digital means can be as great as the risk of unintended harm.
