Abstract

Digital health technology has become ubiquitous, and it presents many opportunities to improve health management, personalize care, and increase patient engagement. Librarians have a valuable role in providing digital health technology services to both consumers and health care professionals. This article shares details on how an interprofessional team at one health care organization developed a digital health technology hub for their patients. Librarian involvement in establishing the service, building the vetted app collection for the hub, and integrating the app collection into clinical care, is discussed.
