About this Research Topic
Digital health is transforming the research and development of treatments, and how healthcare is delivered, monitored, and experienced. As technology continues to advance, policymakers and regulatory bodies are faced with the challenge of adapting and developing frameworks that ensure the ethical, legal, safe and secure integration of digital solutions into healthcare systems. This Research Topic aims to explore the dynamic interplay between clinical safety, digital health policies, regulatory developments, and the innovative technologies driving this evolving landscape.
The rapid integration of digital technologies into healthcare systems has outpaced the development of robust policy frameworks and regulatory mechanisms. This Research Topic will collate empirical studies and expert assessments that critically address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities within the dynamic landscape of digital health regulation/policy. The goal of this collection is to foster a comprehensive understanding of the current issues and pave the way for transformative regulatory solutions that harness recent advances in technology.
Authors are requested to submit manuscripts that cover the following thematic areas:
• Digital health policy analysis and development
• Safety-preserving regulatory innovation
• Ethical considerations in digital health
• Interoperability and standardization
• Innovation in digital health
• Cybersecurity and digital health
• Impact of AI and deep fake technologies on healthcare effectiveness and safety
This research topic welcomes all article types accepted by the Ethical Digital Health Section.
We welcome diverse perspectives, interdisciplinary approaches, and research that aligns with the goal of shaping the future of health care through informed policy, adaptive regulation that facilitate the development and implementation of safe, innovative digital solutions.
