Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue aims to explore the use of digital health technologies to enhance healthcare service quality and promote health. As the healthcare landscape rapidly evolves, digital health interventions, including telemedicine, mobile health apps, electronic health records, and artificial intelligence, can have transformative potentials. This issue seeks to highlight the opportunities these digital health technologies present, such as improving patient outcomes, increasing healthcare efficiency, and enabling personalized medicine. Simultaneously, it will address the pressing challenges these technologies face, such as integration into existing systems, patient and provider adoption, data security, and equity in access. We invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to contribute original research, reviews, and case studies that provide insights into the implementation, impact, and future directions of digital health interventions. Through this Special Issue, we aim to foster a comprehensive understanding of how digital health can be leveraged to enhance the quality of health services and address existing barriers.
