Definitions:  

Health tech: health tech or health technology (sometimes referred to as digital health) uses technology to positively affect the quality, affordability, accessibility and availability of health and wellbeing and ultimately improve quality of life. Technology is primarily software, using databases, applications, devices and wearables. 

Supplier: A supplier is an eligible business that meets points 2 and 3 below.  

Payer: The payer can be hospitals and practitioners; insurance; consumer-facing services; pharmaceuticals; government and others.   

Implementation in health tech: Implementation refers to the acceptance, integration, and use of new health technology in society. There must be a supplier, a payer and actual usage before we say that health tech is implemented.
