Abstract
In recent years, digital health technologies have been evolving rapidly and there has been much interest and excitement surrounding their use in healthcare. The Covid-19 pandemic has brought about a significant jump in the adoption of digital health innovations worldwide, and healthcare providers are now experiencing a tremendous increase in the number of patients seen through telehealth. Further, many organizations are rethinking their strategies to find better ways to adapt and improve the health ecosystem. However, many challenges have surfaced during this pandemic through fragmented health systems and the lack of interoperability in many healthcare systems worldwide has led to an unprecedented strain on hospitals and an overwhelmed clinical workforce. To truly move this field forwards in the new normal, it requires novel and agile ways of working and collaboration, step-change improvements in digital transformation strategies, and better integration of data, technologies and processes, so that the digital health solutions that are designed and developed can address real-world problems. The primary goal of the International Journal of Digital Health is to serve as a cross-disciplinary, collaborative resource for all who are interested in this area, so that advancements in digital health can be expedited. We encourage all submissions in this area so that a robust evidence base can be built in digital health.
