Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal
The Heart Rhythm Society and its publishing partner, Elsevier, are pleased to announce the launch of the Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal.
April 27, 2020
Message from Editor-in-Chief David D. McManus, MD, MSci, FHRS
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced innovation and change at a rapid pace. We are aware that many of you are designing new ways of monitoring, connecting, and treating patients using digital and mobile health technologies. Population health management, similarly, is changing, with data sharing and reporting becoming a much larger part of our daily lives as clinicians. In a sense, "cardiovascular digital medicine" is now simply "cardiovascular medicine."
The Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal is highly interested in opinions, editorials, short reports, and original research articles related to these and other areas of great import to today's cardiovascular practice.
The submission deadline has been extended to May 29, 2020. Share your experiences and science with your colleagues and be part of the digital revolution. Submit your manuscript today!
The inaugural issue will be published in August 2020.
Submit Your Manuscript
The Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal is now accepting papers. Please submit via the Editorial Manager System by clicking the 'Submit Now' button below by May 29, 2020.
About the Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal
The Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal is a new peer-review, open-access journal. This new publication will focus on the rapidly emerging field of digital medicine across all areas of cardiology. We serve the global digital health, clinical, and wider health communities in the entire field of cardiology by promoting high-quality science and supporting the ethical use of technologies and data in practice.
It publishes original, important, innovative, and practice-changing research in the areas of artificial intelligence, signal processing, monitoring, wearables, implantable devices/sensors, biometric analysis, disease detection, data analytics, and other relevant topics.
Submissions of quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, economic, and health policy research papers will be considered through a peer-review process.
The Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal will be published every other month beginning in August 2020.
