Digital health, health systems, and policy research addresses the structures, technologies, and decisions that determine how healthcare is organised, delivered, and continuously improved, complementing individual clinical and public health scholarship with a systems-level perspective. This specialty collection within the Gnoscience Journal of Clinical and Public Health publishes original research, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, case reports, case series, and evidence-based studies examining how digital innovation and health system design shape patient outcomes and healthcare quality worldwide.
The collection welcomes manuscripts spanning telemedicine and telehealth, health informatics, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications in clinical care, electronic health records, healthcare quality improvement, patient safety, and the policy frameworks that govern health system financing and delivery. As digital transformation increasingly reshapes clinical practice across both high-resource and resource-limited settings, research in this area carries substantial educational and practical value, supporting evidence-informed adoption of new technologies and system-level decision-making.
Because digital health and health policy intersect with clinical medicine, public health, biomedical engineering, and health economics, contributions to this collection frequently reflect multidisciplinary collaboration between clinicians, health informaticians, policy researchers, and health system administrators. Submissions are particularly welcomed from researchers and practitioners internationally, reflecting considerable global variation in digital health adoption, health system structure, and policy priorities across different regions and income settings.
Accepted articles are organised within this collection, helping researchers and practitioners with an interest in digital health and health systems locate relevant studies more easily. Health informaticians, policy researchers, and healthcare leaders are encouraged to share findings that advance the responsible adoption of digital tools and stronger health system design, from single-institution quality improvement studies to research with broader international policy relevance.
