Abstract
BACKGROUND: Digital health technologies-including mobile applications, telemedicine platforms, artificial intelligence, and eHealth tools-are transforming health care delivery by enhancing access, personalization, and efficiency. However, traditional technology readiness levels (TRLs), while widely used to assess technological maturity, do not explicitly account for patient involvement-an essential factor in usability, acceptability, and real-world effectiveness.
