Abstract

There is growing global evidence that leveraging digital health tools can significantly enhance reproductive health services. The global digital sexual and reproductive health market was valued at USD 6.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 15.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 13.1% (Virtue Market Research, 2024). Digital health tools are particularly useful in low-resource and underserved settings. These tools, including mobile health (mHealth), telemedicine, digital platforms, and health information systems, have the potential to bridge gaps by overcoming geographical barriers, reducing costs, and improving access to quality sexual and reproductive health services. This review examines the evidence on digital health tools in enhancing sexual and reproductive health services within the framework of sustainable development goals, particularly SDG 3.7 which aims to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health services by 2030.
