Abstract
The development of digital tools for climate health is considered an emerging field of action and an economic opportunity. Analysing international best practices, we propose a typology of these technologies and their functions. Climate health technologies share common challenges regarding data integration, the integration of users and policy alignment. Their effectiveness in enhancing public health depends on addressing these challenges through robust data integration, active user engagement, and policy coherence.
