Digital life, originating with the 18th-century Industrial Revolution, has steadily influenced the healthcare sector, driven by rapid scientific and technological advancements. The health sector’s adaptation to digital transformation aims not only to enhance service quality, efficiency, and safety but also to reduce air pollution caused by greenhouse gases and fossil fuel emissions that accelerate global warming and climate change. This study examines the impact of digitalization on reducing the carbon footprint in healthcare, both globally and in our country, by analyzing the interplay between digital health and carbon footprint contributors. With digitalization, it is believed that greenhouse gas emissions, which continue to rise globally, can be mitigated. However, CO₂ emissions from internet and mobile device usage also present a new challenge. This study delves into the types of carbon footprints, including their components, calculation and measurement methods, sector-specific impacts, and the role of digital health applications. Furthermore, it explores the socio-economic benefits of digital health transformation, providing insights into the various application areas, the sectoral distribution of carbon emissions, and ways digital products could reduce these emissions. The ultimate goal of this research is to contribute to a more sustainable world by using digital health technologies to lower environmental pollutants and greenhouse gases, thereby minimizing their impact on climate change. Embracing these digital health services, which are anticipated to expand in the coming years, can help create a livable world for future generations.
