On March 3, 2021, the new journal Connected Health (CH) was officially released online after two months of preliminary work. Aiming at creating a space for discourse in terms of topics, we use digital health as a promising tool for improving access to care and empowering patients, influencing their attitudes and behaviors, and improving the quality of delivered care as well as patients’ health status. Digital health, particularly telehealth, has shown great effectiveness in managing hypertension, heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, chronic lung disease, cancer, and mental illness. Connected Health was launched by OAE Publishing Inc. and led by a well-known scholar Stefano Omboni, who was appointed as the Editor-in-Chief. Dr. Omboni carries out detailed planning for the journal and establishes the Editorial Board comprised of 23 outstanding scholars.

The intended research topics of Connected Health include: 1. Innovations in technology and diagnostics: Technical studies related to m-Health, e-Health and telehealth applications, wearable sensors, artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, robotic care (telesurgery), smart home, virtual reality, etc.2. Clinical aspects: Feasibility and usability studies, efficacy studies (including the long-term effect on major health status indices, quality of life, performance status, medication adherence, etc.). 3. Economic studies: Cost-effectiveness of digital solutions. 4. Policy: Regulatory issues, health policies, ethics, privacy, and legal issues. 5.
