Virtual roundtable discussion enable participants to network, learn and benefit from the shared knowledge and experience of the group through moderated dialogue around one specific topic – without leaving the comfort of their own surroundings. At its highest level, the goal is to share expert advice or relevant industry trends. Virtual roundtable discussion discussions are also great for having conversations about opposing viewpoints on the same topic. Participants and speakers alike takeaway new perspectives and information from every discussion. To lead a roundtable, you must have a strong meeting agenda, a timer to keep everyone on schedule, and a welcoming personality that will make guests feel comfortable sharing their truths.

Digital technologies offer an unprecedented opportunity to change lives, transform economies, and stimulate growth through finding and sharing information. Using these technologies in the health sphere continues to be a transformative agent in low-income settings, where mobile connectivity has reached unprecedented penetration and ubiquity.
In the fight against COVID, technologies like artificial intelligence are used to assist with population screening, track infection cases, monitor resources – and more notably – to define the social determinants of health; the fundamental equity and human rights element in the fight against COVID-19.
For our part, WHO is working to enable countries to plan, adopt, and benefit from technologies that provide effective public health solutions, and thereby accelerate the achievement of SDG3.
This means leaving no one behind – children or adults, rural or urban – and using digital solutions to improve everyone’s health and well-being.

In 2019, WHO established the Department of Digital Health and Innovation (DHI) to work on digital health technologies to fulfil World Health Assembly resolution WHA/71 A71. WHO has been developing plans to accelerate the use of technologies to meet global public health needs.
WHO has also established a Digital Health Technical Advisory Group, to act as an advisory body on matters related to digital health, including the development, scale and implementation of global standards for governance and oversight of digital health products services and systems.
