The use of digital tools and applications is steadily increasing and can support a range of health information needs 1–3. As tools such as patient portals, health trackers, and remote monitoring devices see greater use, research suggests that tools such as health apps and patient portals can foster greater patient engagement, better support for patients outside of the clinic visit, and can improve health outcomes 3–9. However, greater reliance on digital tools has the potential to increase disparities between those who have skills and access to digital tools and those who do not and thereby existing health disparities.According to a recent Brookings Institution report, 15–24% of Americans lack any sort of broadband connection to the Internet with which to use mobile health technology. These differences only increase when examining the issue by income groups: 38% of households earning less than $20,000 lack a broadband subscription 10. The digital divide by income exists in both rural and urban areas. As practitioners working at the intersection of digital inclusion and health, we would like to highlight some less visible dimensions of the digital divide and offer suggestions to facilitate digital inclusion and ensure equitable and impactful adoption of mobile health technologies.
