The healthcare sector is undergoing a digital transformation that includes home monitoring, increased use of wearables for self-monitoring and increased access to new information sources provided by generative chat bots. On one hand, this transformation may result in increased efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare provision. It can alleviate the workload on health professionals through reorganised workflows and by delegating more tasks to patients, thereby enhancing their self-management abilities. On the other hand, this may also have negative effects such as anxiety and stress among individuals with lower digital health literacy. A multidimensional understanding of digital health literacy can potentially help provide person-centred care by informing the organisation of health services and helping the healthcare professionals to understand the specific needs of those they care for. There is still a lack of knowledge on how awareness of the level of digital health literacy amongst both healthcare professionals and patients can be used in clinical practice.
