Scope

We have come a long way from modern medicine in the 19th century via mechanisation in the 20th century, subsequent increasing automation and the rise of information technology in medicine, finally arriving at “Medicine 4.0” in the age of Digital Health. Today, after this wild ride from the arrival of modern anaesthesia via x-ray to the first robotics in medicine, we witness increasing “digitisation” and connection of medical data collected in rapidly growing size. The great improvements seen in Artificial Intelligence in the last decade such as by the advent of Deep Learning and the great achievements recently made in Big Data analysis help these days to gain deeper insight into diseases and health care challenges often from a bigger population than ever before. At the same time, medicine and health care is increasingly becoming personalised to our individual needs likewise increasing effectiveness, usability, and thereby hopefully the adherence of patients. Related to these advancements, health technology continues to re-innovate itself benefitting from the field’s fast-paced changes driven by the rise of Digital Health. All these highly promising changes and innovations, however, lead to urgent ethical questions that require rapid and rigorous responses. Putting all of the pieces together, there is great promise to lead into an era of health service hopefully marked by increasing prediction and prevention rather than diagnosis and treatment available to all, anywhere, anytime, efficient, explainable, ethical, reliable, robust, and in real-time. In this light, Frontiers in Digital Health is a multidisciplinary open-access journal publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research in its field. It positions itself at the forefront of disseminating and communicating latest and excellent scientific knowledge and highly impactful and crucial discoveries and findings in its field.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
