Session Description
The current digital health transformation is supported by a number of documents from W.H.O. that encourage the implementation of digital health and digital solutions. For example, the Guiding principles for Global strategy for oral health includes “Optimising digital technology for oral health”. WHO has been developing plans to accelerate the use of technologies to meet global public health needs based on the Digital Health resolution (WHA 71.7). Furthermore, the Resolution on oral health (WHA 74.5) has called for the use of provisions that modern digital technology provides in the field of telemedicine and tele-dentistry to ensure no one is left behind. These documents support the implementation of digital oral health and digital oral health solutions.

In line with the WHO and IADR’s e-Oral health research network’s objective, a symposium is proposed with the aim to further discuss the range of ICT uses, procedures and features about the state of the art in ICT in oral healthcare focusing on the prevention of oral health diseases and conditions and in the provision of oral health care. The emphasis would be on how these experiences and knowledge can be translated into action to improve oral health.
