In the past two decades, digital technology has transformed almost every aspect of modern life and healthcare is no exception. From telemedicine and electronic health records to wearable sensors and artificial intelligence (AI) driven diagnostic platforms, digital health tools are reshaping the way care is delivered, monitored, and experienced1. Yet, amidst these innovations, one fundamental pillar of medicine is being redefined: the doctor–patient relationship. This relationship has always been at the heart of clinical practice. It is built on trust, empathy, shared decision-making, and human connection. But as technology integrates more deeply into health systems, it brings both opportunities and challenges. The key question is not whether digital tools should shape this relationship they already are but how to ensure that technology strengthens rather than weakens it2.
