Digital solutionism --- Thanks for the great example on 'Internet Hospitals" (updated link, see above). I really appreciate your comment that the obstacles to rural health care are not only technological ones. In debates about how various digital tools can help accomplish the SDGs, I sometimes get the impression that we see a lot of solutionism (esp. when it comes to AI applications in the health sector) No technical solution can work without considering social, econcomic, and political factors.
