Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to our journal in a highly contemporary area of healthcare. Digital technologies are revolutionizing healthcare by improving patient outcomes, increasing efficiency, and lowering costs. Digital healthcare apps have also revolutionized how individuals access and manage health services. These apps span a wide range of functions, from personal wellness and fitness tracking to chronic disease management. Digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare are not only enhancing patient care but also driving innovations that could redefine healthcare delivery globally.
This Special Issue aims to establish the impact of digital technologies and AI-powered personalized lifestyle interventions on health-related outcomes. Articles on lifestyle interventions should focus on exercise, nutrition, sleep, stress, and alcohol/smoking cessation, either singularly or as part of a multi-component intervention, and on how these impact health outcomes across a wide age span and multiple medical specialties.
In this Special Issue, original research, proof-of-concept papers, and reviews are most welcome, alongside perspective/opinion papers from service users or healthcare and healthcare management professionals and developers.
We look forward to receiving your valued contributions.
Dr. James Philip Hobkirk
Guest Editor
