Advances in Digital Health

Digital health is a discipline that includes digital care programs, technologies with health, healthcare, living, and society to enhance the efficiency of healthcare delivery and to make medicine more personalized and precise. It uses information and communication technologies to facilitate understanding of health problems and challenges faced by people receiving medical treatment and social prescribing in more personalised and precise ways. The definitions of digital health and its remits overlap in many ways with those of health and medical informatics. 

In the present book, twelve typical literatures about digital health published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on digital health. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in digital health as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
