This study investigates how the digital economy enhances the resilience of the digital-intelligent health industry chain in coping with external shocks and internal vulnerabilities. The paper begins by defining the resilience of the digital-intelligent health industry chain, emphasizing that it represents a novel capability in the digital era—one that relies on data and intelligent decision-making, shifts from hard redundancy to soft resilience, and transitions from linear recovery to networked ecological adaptation. Regarding the core mechanism, the digital economy enhances the resistance of the industry chain by strengthening the data foundation and enabling intelligent early warning, improves its recovery capacity through optimized resource allocation and network collaboration, and strengthens its ability for transformation and upgrading by empowering intelligent decision-making and innovation in business models. The study also points out that current practical challenges, such as data flow barriers, technological dependency, fragmented ecosystems, lagging regulations, and security risks, constrain the enhancement of resilience. Finally, targeted countermeasures and recommendations are proposed, including establishing unified data standards, making breakthroughs in core technologies and promoting inclusive adoption, building an open and collaborative industrial ecosystem, and innovating regulatory and security frameworks. These suggestions aim to provide a reference for safeguarding national public health security and promoting the sustainable development of the industry.
