Digital health technology implementation has grown rapidly in recent years. To standardize the quality of digital health implementation research and increase the transparency and integrity of reporting, Perrin published iCHECK-DH: guidelines and checklist for the reporting on digital health implementations in 2023. This article interprets the contents of the list with a view to improving the reporting quality of digital implementation studies to develop more effective digital health interventions and achieve better health outcomes.
