Implementation, Innovations, and Challenges of Digital Health

Submission deadline: Monday, 30 June 2025

Digital health has undergone a remarkable transformation, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic. Rapid advances in fields such as artificial intelligence, telemedicine, wearable devices, big data, augmented reality, and robotics are poised to revolutionize nearly every aspect of medicine in the near future. Digital health enables the identification of health risks and aids in the diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and management of various health and disease conditions.
