Abstract

Digital health education plays an important role in improving people's health literacy in the digital era. Various studies have shown that online learning platforms, such as webinars, apps, audiovisual media and interactive content, are effective in delivering health information. Studies show an increase in knowledge about mental health, healthy lifestyle, digital parenting, and the dangers of smoking after technology-based interventions. However, challenges such as disparities in technology access, varying digital skills and data security remain a concern. Strengthening digital literacy through education using digital media is proven to increase public awareness of the importance of better health, education, and economic life.
