Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in eHealth are transforming healthcare globally from a physical, personal, scheduled service to an online, virtual, on-demand service. Telemedicine, ePrescription, EMR (Electronic Medical Record), mHealth, healthcare apps, remote monitoring of chronically ill patients, and others have become commonplace. The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed many of these advances, but technological changes have continued to catalyze these even more. A digitally savvy population is assimilating these changes and is prepared for even further advances. We invite papers which focus on advances in eHealth fueling these transformations and their impact, both intended and unintended.
- How is eHealth transforming the different types of physical, mental, and holistic healthcare, namely preventive, promotive, curative (acute, chronic), rehabilitative, and palliative care?
- How is eHealth transforming the care provided by physicians (general, specialist), traditional healers, nurses, health workers, pharmacists, social workers, care providers, peers, and the family?
- How is eHealth transforming the healthcare directed toward different populations, namely urban, rural, underprivileged, indigenous, disabled, adolescent, youth, and elderly?
- How is eHealth transforming the outcomes of healthcare, namely efficiency, effectiveness, safety, quality, and equity?
- How is eHealth affecting the barriers to, norms for, and drivers of access to healthcare, namely spatial, temporal, financial, informational, human, and technological resources?
- How is eHealth changing the burden of care globally, nationally, and locally?
