Examples of successful implementation of digital health technologies.

Study	Healthcare setting	Targeted outcome	Benefit
Poon et al. (61)	A 735-bed tertiary care academic medical center	Drug dispensing error	Scan all doses of medications during dispensing could ↓ 93–96% error relative to visual check
Poon et al. (62)	A 735-bed tertiary care academic medical center	Potential adverse drug events	The use of bar-code system caused adverse event rate to drop from 3.1 to 1.6%
Huang et al. (66)	A COVID-19 screening and treatment center	Contract tracing with COVID-19 patients	The use of RTLS tags had higher sensitivity than smartphone contact tracing app (95.3% vs. 6.5%)
Dayan et al. (68)	20 institutions/hospitals that screened for COVID-19 patients	Oxygen requirements of symptomatic patients with COVID-19	Effectively predicted the clinical outcomes, e.g., the necessity to use mechanical ventilation or death at 24 h
