Strategies
7. Digital Health in Nutrition, Exercise & Chronic Disease
Mobile apps, wearables, and VR/AR for exercise; tele-rehabilitation; IoT-enabled gyms; and digital tools for chronic disease management.
Submissions in these areas should be highly scientific papers. IJDHPC is looking for submissions that combine feasible proposals with quality applications. A strong link between theory, policy and practice is expected in the submitted papers.
Critical Review Articles
Critical review articles should link theory and practice and produce informative resources for educators, practitioners and policy makers. IJDHPC seeks submissions that critically combine viable proposals with quality practices. It is expected that theory, policy and practice will be tightly linked in the submitted papers.
