- Governance and implementation of solar-powered digital health systems in low- and middle-income countries: a mixed-methods study from Kenya and Ethiopia (2026) · Frontiers in Digital Health · doi
The study identifies a critical gap in the existing literature on digital health implementation frameworks, which generally treat infrastructure as one component of the broader implementation environment rather than as a foundational dependency. The study highlights the need for a more specific implementation framework that addresses the scale-up of digital health systems in settings where reliable electricity and connectivity cannot be assumed. The study identifies the absence of integrated governance systems as a primary barrier to scaling digital health in low- and middle-income countries.
