A curated index of 27 peer-reviewed journals shaping evidence in digital medicine, AI in clinical care, telehealth, and biomedical informatics — for clinicians, researchers, builders, and policymakers.
Curated by Daniel Kraft, MD.
Digital health moves fast. Evidence still matters.
This curated index highlights the peer-reviewed journals where rigorous work on digital therapeutics, clinical AI, telehealth, wearables, and biomedical informatics is published, debated, and validated. Each entry links directly to the journal's home page.
Not every digital health paper belongs in the same journal. The right venue depends on whether the work is clinical, computational, implementation-focused, policy-oriented, or designed for broad open access. Use this guide as a starting point, then confirm scope, indexing, article types, publication fees, and author instructions directly with each journal.
This guide reflects general fit for typical research questions. Journal scope, accepted article types, and editorial focus shift over time — verify current scope and submission requirements at each journal's website before deciding.

Inclusion criteria include: peer-review process, sustained publication of digital health, AI in medicine, informatics, or telehealth research, recognition by the field's editorial community, and the practical value of the journal as a destination for readers, authors, or reviewers working in digital health.
The index is reviewed and refreshed at least twice yearly. Last full editorial review: May 2026. We weigh signal over breadth — the goal is a curated set readers can trust, not a comprehensive directory. Indexing status (PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus) changes over time; verify directly at each journal before submitting.
