Digital health moves fast — but every funding number, adoption stat, and vendor benchmark cited in a board deck or pitch traces back to a small set of annual reports and surveys. This clinician-curated index covers the leading digital health reports and whitepapers — where the field’s agenda-setting research actually lives: who’s getting funded, what’s getting adopted, which vendors are performing, and where the evidence on AI in medicine stands today. Each entry links to the publisher’s hub or its most recent edition. Organized into five categories: funding & investment, market & adoption, EHR & vendor performance, AI in healthcare, and clinician & consumer sentiment.
