Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The concept of digital health or “e-Health”, which refers to the use of IT technology in the healthcare sector, has emerged as an essential tool with a wide range of potential applications for clinical practice. Artificial intelligence has brought firth new technologies that can enable e-health development, and major advances have been achieved over the past few years in the management of cardiovascular diseases.

e-health regroups a very broad domain including, among others, artificial intelligence, wearable technologies, and mobile technologies. The COVID-19 crisis has shown how technology can be wielded under the banner of e-health to help healthcare around the world, and there is an increasing interest in its implementation in daily clinical practice.

Indeed, e-health and artificial intelligence have led to the development of innovative tools for the management of cardiovascular diseases. Thus, updates and presentations of innovations are necessary to provide to clinicians an overview of what can be expected for their future clinical practice.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an update or present innovative applications of e-health and/or artificial intelligence to diagnose, monitor, follow, treat, or prevent cardiovascular diseases. Original articles, research letters, reviews, opinions, and editorials are invited.

Background: Telemedicine has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. While the development of digital health technologies for the management of patients with cardiovascular diseases has been increasingly reported, applications in vascular surgery have been far less specifically investigated. The aim of this review is to summarize applications related to telemedicine in vascular surgery, highlighting expected benefits, current limits and future directions. Methods: The MEDLINE database was searched using a combination of keywords to identify studies related to telehealth/telemedicine in three main pathologies, including aortic, peripheral artery and carotid disease. A comprehensive literature review was performed to identify the type of digital application, intended use, expected benefits, strengths and limitations. Results: Telemedicine can improve the management of patients through digital platforms allowing teleconsultation, telemonitoring or telecoaching. Intended use involved remote consultation with a vascular surgeon, applications to enhance education, self-management, follow-up or adherence to treatment or lifestyle changes. Conclusion: Telemedicine offers innovative perspectives to improve access to care in distant locations and optimize care through patients’ empowerment and personalized follow-up, contributing to the development of precision medicine. Huge efforts remain necessary for its implementation in daily clinical practice and involve ethical, legal, technical, economic and cultural considerations. Full article
