Digital health literacy is the ability to understand, assess, and use health-related, digitally enabled information and technologies. This includes, for example, being able to independently assess and decide which digital options to use, which data to share with third parties, or how to manage health data collected through an app.

Digital health literacy is the ability to understand, assess, and use health-related, digitally enabled information and technologies.

To make digital health literacy tangible, the Bosch Digital Innovation Hub (BDIH) – Telemedicine Coordination Office Baden-Württemberg (KTBW) offers a variety of hands-on experience formats. They give citizens and healthcare professionals the opportunity to explore and try out new technologies in a practical setting.
Whether in the mobile Digital Health Truck, the interactive Digital Health Showroom, or through flexible loan programs for on-site use, all of these offerings pursue one common goal: promoting confident, informed, and self-determined use of digital applications in healthcare.
