    From the Editor-in-Chief
    It gives me a great pleasure to announce the launching of Exploration of Digital Health Technologies (EDHT), an open access journal published by Open Exploration Publishing in the field of digital health. The aim of the journal will be to attract high-quality global research contributions from scientists working on different aspects related to digital technologies with biomedical relevance worldwide. The open access publishing model ensures high visibility of the works published in the journal, and focused effort of the journal team will be allocated for the wide dissemination of the published works both within the scientific community and the general public. Within the original works published in the journal, special attention will be given to critical discussion of findings by the authors and to providing of sufficient information to ensure research reproducibility. A rigorous peer-review process involving an international expert Editorial Board has been established to ensure the high-quality standard required for publication in Exploration of Digital Health Technologies (EDHT).
