Abstract
Digital health technologies are growing at a rapid pace and changing the healthcare landscape. Our current understanding of digital health literacy in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is limited. In this review, we discuss the potential challenges of low digital health literacy in PD with particular attention to telehealth, deep brain stimulation, wearable sensors, and smartphone applications. We also highlight inequities in access to digital health technologies. Future research is needed to better understand digital health literacy among individuals with PD and to develop effective solutions. We must invest resources to evaluate, understand, and enhance digital health literacy for individuals with PD.

数字健康素养在不断发展的帕金森病护理系统中的重要性
摘要
数字医疗技术正在快速发展并改变着医疗保健格局。我们目前对帕金森病 (PD) 数字健康素养的了解有限。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了帕金森病中数字健康素养低下的潜在挑战,特别关注远程医疗、深部脑刺激、可穿戴传感器和智能手机应用。我们还强调获得数字医疗技术方面的不平等。未来的研究需要更好地了解帕金森病患者的数字健康素养并开发有效的解决方案。我们必须投入资源来评估、理解和提高帕金森病患者的数字健康素养。
