How digital solutions can help combat premature deaths from non-communicable diseases

Longevity is one of the most straightforward indicators of healthy living. Longevity rates are a widely used measure that show regional variations in average life expectancy by age. These variations underline the startling inequalities linked to birthplace. The top two nations on the list, Japan and Switzerland, have life expectancies at birth of 84.3 years and 83.4 years, respectively, while the bottom two nations, Lesotho and the Central African Republic, have life expectancies at birth of 50.7 years and 53.1 years, respectively, according to data released by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2019 - thus excluding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of course, there are inequities within nations as well as between them. The "Scotland or Glasgow influence" is a common name for this.
