Any health-care development that doesn't rapidly become available to all individuals has the unintended but inevitable consequence of fuelling health inequality. The response to COVID-19 is no exception. Although we have neither effective drugs or vaccines to deploy, we do have other resources that bear on our capacity to respond to the disease: resources that include digital health-care technologies. Regrettably their benefits are still far from being equitably distributed.
