Telehealth and Medicine Today (THMT) and the ISfTeH continue to build on their strategic collaboration to advance global digital health innovation

Telehealth and Medicine Today (THMT) journal and the International Society for Telemedicine & eHealth set up a strategic collaboration earlier this year to accelerate global education and adoption of digital health, telemedicine and eHealth. The partnership combines THMT’s open-access, peer-reviewed publishing platform with ISfTeH’s worldwide network to drive knowledge exchange, co-host events and webinars, expand publishing opportunities for ISfTeH members and the digital health community at large, and produce evidence-based white papers and policy guidance.

Leaders from both organizations framed the alliance as a catalyst for integrating digital health into mainstream care to improve outcomes, access, and cost efficiency. THMT publisher, Tory Cenaj, emphasized global innovation and patient benefits, while ISfTeH president, Dr. Michele Griffith highlighted a shared vision of a connected, data-driven, patient-centric ecosystem.

THMT currently has an open Call for Papers on “AI-Enabled Telehealth, Virtual Care & the Future of Digital Medicine.” As healthcare is undergoing one of the most profound shifts in its history, driven by telehealth, AI, virtual care, and digitally enabled clinical practice, THMT aims to capture that transformation through the highest quality evidence, insights, and real world experience.

The journal has also partnered with CACTUS AI Solutions that brings cutting edge telehealth and AI research to clinicians, professionals, policymakers, and patients around the globe. Through this collaboration, selected articles are now enhanced with multilingual access and full translations and summaries in Chinese, German, Spanish, and English.

The ISfTeH and THMT collaborate on a series of podcasts, where ISfTeH Director of Education, Dr. Jefferson Fernandes, brings in ISfTeH members to present and discuss scalable telehealth solutions and other related topics.

ISfTeH recently supported and participated in THMT’s ConV2X conference in New York (USA) where Dr. Michele Griffith moderated a panel on the topic of Virtual Empathy – Building Human Connections in Telehealth.
