BACKGROUND
Digital health is a broad multidisciplinary concept that embraces intersections between technology and healthcare. The scope of digital health includes mobile health (mHealth), electronic health records (EHRs), electronic medical records (EMRs), digitized health information systems and real-time monitoring of health services and systems, tracking and monitoring of medical supplies and equipment through the supply chain, wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, personalized medicine as well as geospatial data and technologies applied too health care (“geospatial health”). Geospatial health is an interdisciplinary field that combines geographic information systems (GIS), spatial analysis, and public health to understand how location and place influence health outcomes. Geospatial health combines GPS, satellite imagery, advanced mapping software and mobile health apps to collect and analyze location-based health data, highly intersects with the digital health field.
In recent years, country demand for global guidelines and deployment support for digital health and geospatial health has increased, following the experiences and lessons learned from digital health interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing access to information, and increasing digital literacy alongside a concurrently widening digital divide. As part of UNICEF’s new Strategic Plan, Programme Group (PG) Health created the Digital Health & Information Systems (DHIS) unit under the Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health Section (MNCAH). DHIS supports the use of digital health interventions and data to strengthen programmes across all sections in program group Health whereas facilitating Regional Offices to support country level digital health interventions.
UNICEF has previously advertised and maintained Digital Health Rosters, with the initial version launched in 2019 and subsequently updated in 2021. Both rosters have been actively used to support regional and country office digital health consultancies, attracting a mix of short and long-term candidates. These consultancies have contributed to the implementation of a wide range of digital health interventions, including digital health strategy development, data digitization, and geospatial mapping.
Given that the current rosters have been in use for nearly four years and considering the evolving demands in the digital health landscape, along with the updated Program Group Health Strategic Plan, there is a need to review and update the digital health roster. This should include revised terms of reference that align with emerging priorities and technical requirements. |
