Objectives: This study examines a digital health literacy model and the global and national initiatives on digital health and provides policy implications to improve digital health literacy. Particular attention is given to the disparity in digital health literacy. Methods: A thematic literature review on eHealth and digital health literacy was conducted, along with an analysis of the following global and national health initiatives: WHO Global Strategy on Digital Health and US Healthy People. Results: The Lily model, which focuses on digital health literacy at the individual level, emphasized digital health literacy as “a form of meta-literacy.” Digital health literacy was closely related to the characteristics of vulnerable populations. The global and national health initiatives recognized and emphasized their roles in improving digital health literacy and reducing disparities. The policy implications include the need for an integrated approach to reduce the digital divide; establishment of multi-level sustainable health objectives, data, and evidence-based interventions; development of people-centered digital health tools; and promotion of the health system and the national and global collaboration to address disparities in digital health literacy. Conclusion: Continuous multi-level and multi-faceted efforts should be made to improve digital health literacy and reduce health disparity.
