Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The World Health Organization has declared that digital health technologies provide concrete opportunities for addressing health system challenges, thereby improving health services. For example, digital health technologies can be used to facilitate personalized medicine and provide support to patients in need.
Even though the innovative role that digital health technologies can play in strengthening the health system is widely recognized, there is an equally important need to evaluate their contributing effects.
We invite papers addressing these topics, especially those that combine a high academic standard with a practical focus on providing real-life solutions.
Dr. Maria Matsangidou
Guest Editor
