Digital health: Health inequalities and barriers

Who you are and where you live can affect how you engage with health care systems and services. Impacts on health outcomes are even more acute where people face multiple barriers and have complex support needs, such as people with experience of homelessness. Barriers to accessing online health care services and information are amplified by digital exclusion.

Fortunately there are ways to mitigate some of the barriers to accessing health and care services, developing alternative models of health engagement.
