Applying recent advances from information and communication technologies (ICT) to improve the healthcare practice is increasingly gaining momentum in the last years. This requires highly multidisciplinary research, involving different fields of knowledge such as engineering, computer science, and medicine or other health related areas. In this context, the International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications (IJEHMC) is well positioned in providing a forum for the timely dissemination of relevant research and development work that build bridges between different areas in ICT and their applications in healthcare and thus contribute in advancing the e-health field.

Using information and communication technology to improve healthcare quality and reduce costs for ubiquitous healthcare has been recognized and is being implemented as a national priority in major world economies. The International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications (IJEHMC) acts as an interface between e-health and communication technologies and their contribution to medical fields. IJEHMC publishes high quality application papers, survey and tutorial papers, case studies, and short research notes reflecting global e-health technologies and medical communications contributing to thestate-of-art advances in the fields. In my opinion, IJEHMC is one the best journals on E-Health all over the world.

In its short lifespan IJEHMC has achieved to bring to the attention of the research community a large number of innovative concepts in e-health and medical communications. As an academic and researcher in computer systems and networks I was looking for a better understanding of the applications of my field in medicine and healthcare. This journal has provided exactly that, since it combines, very successfully, the medical and biomedical field with practical healthcare and ICT. This makes IJEHMC an invaluable tool to anyone wanting to stay abreast of the critical issues in this emerging multi-disciplinary field.

International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications is a very interesting journal in the area of health technologies. It explores how communication and embedded devices can leverage and bring better health care to all populations. This is also especially important as the challenges posed by aging population are pushing researchers and technicians to act quickly before the health systems become unsustainable in developed countries. In these times of information overload, it is important to find magazines like IJEHMC. It is informative, timely and a comprehensive resource.
– Prof. Jorge Sá Silva, University of Coimbra, Portugal
The Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications (IJHMC) is an important venue dedicated for publishing high quality research articles in the area. E-Health is an emergent topic that poses many challenges to multiple disciplines, such as Computer Science, Engineering, Health and Social Sciences. Particularly, in the Computer Science concern, E-Health has a great interface with pervasive and assistive computing, therefore, allowing a whole new set of innovative applications. In this context, the IJHMC plays a key role for developing of new technologies in the E-Health field.
– Prof. Eduardo Freire Nakamura, Federal University of Amazonas, Brazil
The research works published in the "International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications" are great sources to stay current with the latest applications and practices in the interdisciplinary areas of telemedicine, and medical communications. Over the past past few years, the high quality articles in the journal have guided many of my students' works. I look forward to more issues and topics over the coming year."
– Prof. Farid Farahmand, Sonoma State University – CA, USA
As a reviewer, and a contributing Author, I wish to endorse the International Journal of E-Health and Medical Communications (IJEHMC) as a very good resource to keep up with the latest in the interdisciplinary areas of biomedicine, telecare and telemedicine from different parts of the globe. Moreover, being one of the "official" peer-reviewed journal publications of the e-health Technical Committee of the IEEE ComSoc, it is another avenue to disseminate novel ideas t an international level in these fast-developing areas. I would also like to draw attention to the truly international editorial board, which is another factor to ensure high-quality, unpublished ideas to find a place in the IJEHMC, thereby impacting the quality of the publication positively.
