Abstract
The appearance of pandemics of various kinds that have shaken the world and transformed health paradigms has led many organizations and states to review their health strategies to ensure sustainable assistance to the population. Organizations are turning more towards a sustainable digital transformation, which considers multiple dimensions, including health. This study presents a topic-oriented mapping of a range of conceptual and practice-based efforts and strategies implemented in the virtual health paradigm. The systematic literature review conducted since the first insights in 1995 reveals the eagerness related to the digital transformation of health care and the popularization of digital health strategies. The resolutions of our study will enrich the emerging literature on virtual health in a wide range of settings.
