Abstract
In today’s world, people are more aware and conscious about health issues than before. The main reason behind this can be both the developments in health issues and the process we have experienced during the COVID-19 pandemics. We all are more used to digital health applications and innovative health solutions. These developments trigger the changes and also arrangements in healthcare policy issues. All the topics have both theoretical and practical implications in the industry and academic world. This chapter tries to summarize the importance of the new strategies and approaches in healthcare policy, innovation, and digitalization by making an extensive introduction to those three concepts.
