This article: 1) explores stakeholders’ perspectives on integrating the environmental impacts of Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) in assessment and procurement practices; 2) identifies the factors enabling or constraining the operationalisation of such a change; and 3) encourages a constructive dialogue on how environmental issues fit within healthcare systems’ push for more DHTs. Considering the micro-, meso-, and macro-systemic factors involved, a better understanding of the complexity inherent in the environmental shift in healthcare is needed.
