ABSTRACT. This paper analyzes the outcomes of an exploratory review of the current research on digital health tools harnessed for COVID-19-related care. The data used for this study was obtained and replicated from previous research conducted by Accenture, Axendia, Deloitte, Ericsson ConsumerLab, and McKinsey. I performed analyses and made estimates regarding the use of digital epidemiological surveillance, virtualized care, and smart Internet of Things-enabled mobile-based health monitoring systems in response to COVID-19. Data collected from 5,200 respondents are tested against the research model by using structural equation modeling.
