About the Journal

The Journal of Digital Health and Biomedical Informatics (JDHBI) is an open-access journal of the Brazilian Computing Society, maintained by its Special Committee on Health Informatics. Its mission is to promote the dissemination of scientific knowledge in digital health, with a focus on the use of technologies to support human health.

The journal publishes original research and review articles on digital innovations, health information systems, artificial intelligence, telemedicine, data analysis, and other digital technologies applied to human health. It also accepts studies within the One Health context, when addressing the intersection between technology, human health, animal health, and ecosystems, with a direct impact on human health.

The JDHBI prioritizes ethics, accessibility, and practical applicability, fostering a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach that values the convergence of technology, human health, and ecosystems for the benefit of society.

Articles dealing exclusively with animal or veterinary health, without relation to human health or ecosystems, are not accepted.
