This review aims to explain the applications of sustainability, digitalisation and artificial intelligence, which are the systems of the future in protecting and improving people's health in rapidly changing world conditions. The world has entered the 21st century with an aging population, globalisation, major environmental events (migration, epidemics, etc.) and rapid climate change. These changing conditions have of course led to changes in the health system and care-giving methods. The fact that the changes are not only human-oriented but also community-oriented, suitable for new generations, and used effectively in its own period will also ensure sustainability. The sustainability of healthcare services will emerge by measuring the health data obtained for patients and society in terms of environmental, social and financial impacts. Thus, healthcare service will be measurable, changeable, transferable and re-adaptable. Improving public health with new health care methods and ensuring the full well-being (physical, social, psychological) of future generations will only be possible if the concepts of sustainable health care and health protection and promotion meet on a common denominator. 

Digital health is a priority resource for individuals to reach a sustainable level of health, to gain and increase competence in health. Digitalisation plays an important role in the support, implementation and dissemination of Sustainable Development Goals and the adaptation of new technologies and initiatives to society. Supporting digitalised health applications such as wearable devices, computer decision support systems and telemedicine with artificial intelligence will increase the quality, reliability, transparency, control and sustainability of health services. The use of artificial intelligence will increase day by day in order to monitor and manage increasing imaging demands, e-health applications, increasing data density with digitalisation. The concepts of digitalisation and sustainability in health must proceed in parallel.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a system with features such as research, interpretation, synthesis, prediction and decision-making, and its integration into the health system is inevitable.  While artificial intelligence is initially thought to be based on concrete concepts and mathematical algorithms, it also has an effective function in many abstract dimensions such as machine learning, artificial neural networks, unsupervised learning, natural language processing, visual interpretation, and conversion into digital movements.  The importance of artificial intelligence in increasing efficiency, reducing cost and improving the quality of care in health service delivery is an undeniable fact. The integration of artificial intelligence into health protection and promotion services will accelerate the achievement of sustainability goals and provide a cornerstone in the effective and efficient use of digitalisation.

Key words: Digital health, health protection and promotion, sustainable health, artificial intelligence
