📄 Abstract

to support it.However, these factors must be considered when deciding what is immediately implementable, versus that which requires a supportive framework which has yet to be created.All digital health research and claims are informative.Some offer immediate solutions to health care that should be implemented today and others highlight the potential of what may be possible.However, blurring the line between actual and aspirational can be counterproductive.Claiming that aspirational digital health research is ready for immediate use can lead to immediate negative results and broad disappointment.It may even inadvertently contribute to digital health “hype” and foster undue skepticism for the field.However, ignoring digital health technologies with good evidence for real-world implementation is a missed opportunity for improving patient outcomes.Appreciating how aspirational research can guide, inform, and inspire current efforts is also important.Likewise, appreciating the real world success of actualized efforts can help guide aspirational research to be more translatable into health care systems.There is no superior designation, as both ends of the actual and aspirational spectrum have critical roles that cannot be separated.However, the value of both depends upon correct identification of where any given project lies on this spectrum -and further consideration of populations sampled and incentives used are critical to determining this.
