Submission Deadline: December 15, 2025
The journal Cerebrovascular Diseases is calling for contributions for an article collection entitled “Digital Health in Stroke”.
Digital health is being progressively introduced in clinical practice and the cerebrovascular diseases field is no exception. This concept incorporates several terms such as m-health, e-health and telehealth and allows the collection of data from electronic patient records, smart devices, remote monitoring, connected devices and digital therapeutics. It uses computing platforms, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze data that help healthcare professionals to make informed decisions and to improve care.
The use of digital health is revolutionizing healthcare. Namely in the cerebrovascular diseases field there are already several examples of its applications: AI is being used to evaluate brain CTs and MRI scans, clinical data is being recorded in electronic health records, telemedicine is helping to provide care to patients in remote locations, wearable devices incorporated into day-to-day life help to collect data that inform about the effectiveness of medications, virtual reality is being used in rehabilitation. In the future, information derived from digital health may lead to more personalized and precise treatments. All aspects of the stroke care chain from prevention, diagnosis, management and rehabilitation are being and will be influenced by digital health.
In this article collection, we welcome original research articles, brief reports, protocols, review articles, and letters addressing current uses or future perspectives on the applications of digital in the stroke field. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Optimization of stroke diagnosis with artificial intelligence
- Applications of telemedicine in stroke
- Enhancement of stroke patients monitoring (e.g. wearable devices, smart devices)
- Transmission of connected data to enhance stroke patients’ care
- Use of digital health and namely electronic health records to improve quality of care
- Evaluation of outcomes data using AI and machine learning
- Incorporation of digital health in clinical trials
- Ethical aspects of digital health
Please select the option “Call for Papers: Digital Health in Stroke” when submitting your manuscript and mention this Call for Papers in your cover letter.
