Dear Colleagues,

The broad scope of digital health includes categories such as health information technology, mobile health, telemedicine, and personalized medicine.

Digital health technologies have grown rapidly in the past few decades because of the exponential increase in computational power, reduced cost of data storage, improved algorithmic sophistication, and increased availability of health data from electronic health records. From mobile medical apps and software that support the clinical decisions made by health professionals every day, to medical devices powered by artificial intelligence or machine learning, digital technology has changed how healthcare can be delivered in different community and clinical settings, such as disease screening and surveillance, disease activity monitoring, treatment adherence, out-patient appointment attendance, symptom and medication management and screening adherence, etc.

With the development of ultra-speed internet connection and the lowered cost of internet services, computers, smartphones, and smart wearable devices, the utilization of digital health technologies could be further generalized, especially during the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

The objective of this Special Issue is to present the most up-to-date data on the development and implementation of digital health technologies for health promotion, education, disease prevention and management. Prospective interventional studies, retrospective studies, review articles, systematic reviews and meta-analyses are all welcome. The keywords listed below provide an outline of some of the possible areas of interest.
