Abstract: We propose declaring the "Digital Paradigm of Public Health." To plan the future of public health by focusing on a precision approach within the digital ecosystem, it is necessary to introduce a digital paradigm. The digital revolution has had a profound impact on all fields of health sciences, particularly in the development of public health. In particular, in today's context, where health has become an accelerator of digital transformation, there is a need to call for a paradigm shift in public health that aligns with this transformation. The transition of the public health paradigm has progressed through naturalist, normative, and functional forms. Following the development of these paradigms, a digital paradigm emerged as the next stage. The digital paradigm of public health is demonstrated through four paradigmatic aspects: ontology, epistemology, axiology, and methodology.
