Regarding the article "Inequalities in health care services caused by the adoption of digital health technologies: scoping review," by Yao R, Zhang W, Evans R, Cao G, Rui T, Shen L. How can this article be reflected by the following research question? "Does the uptake of medical technologies have an impact on patient care in terms of cost-effectiveness, quality, and income levels?" and the hypothesis "socioeconomic disparities and the preference for healthcare efficiency over technology adoption can cause the standard of medical technology to decline."

How can someone provide some motivation for:

1. Why would someone expect the medical technology adoption to impact inequality in the way someone proposes? 2. How can someone clearly articulate the mechanisms underlying the research question? That is if someone expects the medical technology adoption and inequality to be negatively related. 3. Explain why and how this would be.

4. This should be informed by theory and data. Explain in detail.
