Such technologies allow for real-time health monitoring, disease diagnosis, chronic disease management, outbreak surveillance, and rehabilitation. They help personalize treatment plans, identify trends, contribute to drug development, and enhance public health management. While emerging digital technologies have numerous benefits, they may also introduce new risks and vulnerabilities that can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive healthcare information. This review article discussed, in brief, the key emerging digital technologies in the health sector and the unique threats introduced by these technologies. We also highlighted the risks relevant to digital health cybersecurity, such as data breaches, medical device vulnerabilities, phishing, insider and third-party risks, and ransomware attacks. We suggest that the cybersecurity framework should include developing a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, conducting regular risk assessments, implementing strong access control, encrypting data, educating staff, implementing secure network segmentation, backing up data regularly, monitoring and detecting anomalies, establishing an incident response plan, sharing threat intelligence, and auditing third-party vendors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info14120640","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,29]],"date-time":"2023-11-29T12:01:00Z","timestamp":1701259260000},"page":"640","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Emerging Digital Technologies in Healthcare with a Spotlight on Cybersecurity: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3335-2243","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ahmed","family":"Arafa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Cardiology, National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center, Suita 564-8565, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Public Health and Community Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Beni-Suef University, Beni-Suef 62521, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haytham A.","family":"Sheerah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Collaborations, Ministry of Health, Riyadh 11176, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3054-5015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shada","family":"Alsalamah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Systems Department, College of Computer and Information Sciences, King Saud University, Riyadh 11362, Saudi Arabia"},{"name":"Digital Health and Innovation Department, World Health Organization, CH-1211 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e200","DOI":"10.1016\/S2589-7500(21)00292-2","article-title":"Advancing digital health applications: Priorities for innovation in real-world evidence generation","volume":"4","author":"Stern","year":"2022","journal-title":"Lancet Digit.
