These platforms utilize various technologies adapted to different purposes and contribute to the development of big data for long-term health promotion. 2) Review of digital health platforms from various countries reveals diverse platforms for tracking user activities and promoting public health, each adapted to the specific context of each country. 3) The direction of public policy was found that various Thai agencies are integrating data, innovation, and information technology with the BCG Model to develop public health policies aimed at enhancing the development of the tourism and sports industries andfostering sustainable competitiveness. 4) The role of private networks to drive digital health platforms appropriately requires establishing collaboration with various sectors, demonstrating local partnerships focused on capacity developing, ensuring that all parties achieve the main objectives of the collaboration, and supporting resources, funding, expertise, and cooperation in various aspects.
