Africa does not have a shortage of digital health pilots. It has a shortage of digital health platforms. Over two decades, hundreds of digital health projects have launched across the continent: SMS reminder schemes, telemedicine trials, electronic record systems, drone corridors, artificial intelligence experiments. A few matured into national assets serving millions. Most worked briefly, in one district, for the lifetime of one grant, and then disappeared. Practitioners have a name for the condition: pilotitis. This practical guide is about crossing the gap between pilot and platform. It is written for the student or clinician who needs a structured introduction to digital health; the manager or policymaker who must plan, govern, finance and scale it; the educator building the digital competence of the health workforce; and the innovator trying to build something that survives contact with a real health system. Inside this book: Why digital health is a continental imperative, and how to read a health information ecosystem as it actually exists The six competency domains that turn "digital training" from an event into a mapped progression Governance, data sovereignty and the trust stack on which everything else rests Selecting, deploying and sustaining the core technologies: records, HMIS, telemedicine and digital public goods Escaping pilot purgatory: decision rules, full-lifecycle costing, and defeating the donor cliff AI, big data and the entrepreneurial ecosystem that decides whether Africa produces or merely consumes the next generation of health technology Written by four African physicians and grounded in about 200 chapter references, continental and national policy, and the lessons of programs that succeeded and of several that instructively failed.
