A special issue of Systems (belonging to the section "Systems Practice in Social Science"). With the growing adoption of digital technologies in healthcare, driven by the digital transformation, it has become necessary to explore the associated challenges and opportunities that arise at the national and international levels to reflect on their implications for equity in access and participation in health, and to discuss citizen participation in the digital health policy debate. This Special Issue entitled “Digital Health for Better Health and Quality of Life” aims to provide a meeting point for those who conduct research on health using multidisciplinary approaches. Social media and ICT can improve quality of life, and communication technologies can help people to stay healthier, more independent, and active at work or in their community. This Special Issue facilitates the exchange of information and the dissemination of best practices, innovation, and technical improvements in the fields of age and healthcare, education, psychology, social coordination, and ambient assisted living. From e-health to intelligent systems and ICT devices, this Special Issue aims to act as a vibrant discussion and collaboration platform for all those who work in research and development, who create conditions for the industrial exploitation of innovation and foster its uptake in the market, who legitimate the use of innovation on a large scale, and who are involved in promoting the quality of life and well-being of people, by providing room for research and industrial presentations, demonstrations and project descriptions.
