The landmark resolution WHA74.5 (2021) on oral health requested WHO to develop, by 2022, a draft global strategy on tackling oral diseases for consideration by WHO governing bodies in 2022 and by 2023; to translate the global strategy into an action plan for oral health. The Global Oral Health Action Plan provides concrete guidance to progress the oral health agenda in countries and proposes a monitoring framework with targets to track progress towards 2030. Combined, these policy documents set the Global oral health agenda towards 2030 with the action plan at the centre, as it translates how to achieve the ambition set out in the strategy and the mandate of the Resolution on oral health. The Global strategy and action plan on oral health 2023-2030 is aligned with the Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Noncommunicable Diseases 2013–2030 and pillars 1 and 3 of WHO’s Thirteenth General Programme of Work.

In the world of digital healthcare, a critical issue looms large, demanding the immediate attention of academic scholars. The convergence of developing medical technologies, innovative digital solutions, and intricate healthcare structures has set the stage for a seismic transformation. However, the understanding of this evolving landscape remains inadequate, and the urgency to decipher these intricacies has never been more pressing. As we witness the rapid expansion of mobile-based digital healthcare, a fundamental problem becomes evident – a lack of comprehensive research on the industry's structure and dynamics. This gaping void in knowledge is the challenge that Analyzing Current Digital Healthcare Trends Using Social Networks undertakes with groundbreaking academic rigor. This book is a key resolution to this overarching problem, and it is meticulously designed to serve academic scholars seeking to unravel the intricacies of the digital healthcare ecosystem. By delving deep into the web of stakeholders, industry-specific challenges, and regulatory frameworks, it provides a comprehensive analysis that is long overdue. Extensive use of research articles, case studies, and empirical evidence serves as a compass to navigate the complexities of digital healthcare. The ultimate goal is to empower academic scholars with knowledge, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

Personalized health technologies offer many benefits. Smart mobile systems, textiles and implants and sensor-controlled medical devices have become important enablers for telemedicine and ubiquitous pervasive health as the next-generation health services, while social media and gamification have added another dimension to pHealth as an eco-system. This book presents the proceedings of pHealth 2022, the 19th in the conference series, held as a hybrid event in Oslo, Norway, from 8 – 10 November 2022. The pHealth 2022 conference attracted experts from many scientific domains and brought together health-service vendor and provider institutions, payer organizations, government departments, academic institutions, professional bodies, and patients and citizen representatives. Topics covered include mobile technologies, micro-nano-bio smart systems, bio-data management and analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and robotics for personalized health, the Health Internet of Things (HIoT), systems medicine, public health and virtual care. The book includes 2 keynote papers, 10 invited papers, 20 full papers, and 4 poster papers by 113 authors from 23 countries. All submissions were carefully and critically reviewed by at least two independent experts from a country other than the author’s home country, and additionally by at least one member of the Scientific Program Committee, guaranteeing a high scientific level of the accepted and ultimately published papers. Exploring the enormous potential of pHealth for improvements in medical quality and also for the management of healthcare costs and the provision of a better patient experience, the book will be of interest to all those involved in the development and provision of healthcare.
