Global Research in Telehealth: Challenges, Emerging Opportunities and Needs in Society

Dear Colleagues,

Despite the significant growth that telehealth has experienced in recent decades at a global level, much remains to be done to standardize it. Due to the confinement caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a very rapid implementation of telehealth, especially in more developed societies, which otherwise would have taken a longer time to get established and develop. Therefore, telehealth has become a key piece for public health.

The main objective of this Special Issue is to give visibility and added value to research in the field of telehealth.

This Special Issue offers an opportunity to publish high-quality interdisciplinary research papers and reviews that inform on the wide range of topics related to public health and telehealth. Manuscripts specifically focused on personalized medicine, health informatics and education, IT and patient care, nursing informatics, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Devices) and localization techniques, e-training, e-health to improve healthcare quality and patient safety, security in e-health, social implications, clinical information systems, e-health decision support systems, e-logistics and e-pharmacy, mobile applications, patient electronic health records, healthcare portals to inform and connect patients with physicians, patients and public health, social networks in healthcare contexts, e-health marketing, e-procurement and e-commerce, telemedicine, web-based applications, e-health 2.0 are welcome.
