Containing Coronavirus with Telehealth - TMT Pledge
Telehealth and Medicine Today (TMT) peer review journal pledges to connect those in need of educational resources, information, access to telemedicine services, expert advisers, and leaders in enterprise. We know telehealth and telemedicine can deliver healthcare and services where there are none - in remote and rural areas - where preparedness and operations strategies do not exist.

COVID-19 has catalyzed an opportunity to scale the awareness and use of telemedicine by government, citizen, and sector. In the interim, we will inform and advise those in need, in effort to contain it, and promote health and wellness around the globe.
Special thanks to board member Rick Anglin, CEO, mvuex, for his collaboration and support!

Telehealth titans Amar Gupta, PhD and John Halamka, MD steer peer review open access journal, Telehealth and Medicine Today
Dr. Amar Gupta of MIT’s Institute of Medical Engineering and Science (IMES) has recently accepted the editor-in-chief role at TMT.
Amar Gupta has been an Endowed Professor at two universities. He is currently with the Institute for Medical Engineering and Science, as well as the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab, at MIT. A disruptive force and humanitarian, Dr Gupta developed MIT’s “Telemedicine and Telehealth for Enhancing Global Health” course that received rave reviews from participants. He pioneered content-based image search techniques on microcomputers & was lead inventor of the patented character-recognition technology used for electronic check-processing. He developed neural-network algorithms for reading mammograms - dramatically reducing the incidence of false negatives and false positives. He developed a neural network-based system for slashing by half a national pharmacy chain’s $1 billion drug-inventory while maintaining the same probability for availability of drug in stock.
Dr. Gupta will serve, alongside Dr. John D. Halamka, as co - Editor in Chief of Telehealth and Medicine Today.
We are most happy to welcome Dr. Gupta to Telehealth and Medicine Today, and look forward to his and Dr. Halamka’s stewardship.
We are excited to share the ATA has endorsed the peer reveiw journals Telehealth and Medicine Today and Blockhain in Healthcare Today.
“Blockchain is a key driving force behind maintaining accurate, actionable healthcare data – and is an important component of where we’re headed in telehealth. The ATA is delighted to collaborate with Partners in Digital Health, as the benefits of blockchain technology are critical to our members’ success in the future,” stated Ann Mond Johnson, CEO, ATA.
The academic portfolio’s editor-in-chief, John Halmaka, MD, International Healthcare Innovation Professor, Harvard Medical School, added “We are happy to collaborate with the ATA to catalyze local and global initiatives and use cases to move health, delivery, and education forward, with telehealth and blockchain technology.”
“Pushing the confines of pragmatic healthcare innovation and academic publication practices, these journals fill gaps with editorial missions poised for the next frontier in health and care around the world,” stated Tory Cenaj, Founder, Partners in Digital Health.

Telehealth and Medicine Today is partnered with Code Ocean. Authors can now transparently share code associated with their research, with readers.
Code Ocean, is a cloud based computational reproducibility platform, where researchers, engineers, developers, and scientists can upload code and data in any open source programming language and link working code in a computational environment within an article. The journal encourages authors and readers to share articles to broaden the sector's knowledge base. The initiative will also assist in reducing negative results, and ideally, accelerate time to market.
The Code Ocean platform can also be used to include an executable copy of an author's code for the peer review process.
Partners in Digital Health and Code Ocean will work towards the integration of Code Ocean into the journal submission and peer review workflow, where code and data is used. Authors will upload their code and data, within a cloud based computational environment, to create an executable “compute capsule” that can reproduce their results. A compute capsule will get a DOI and be embedded within the article upon the manuscript’s publication, enabling readers to view and verify the article’s results. Authors can upload and submit code and data associated with their article. Users can execute the code, view results, and modify the code to see how results change.
Partners in Digital Health joins distinguished Code Ocean publishing partners De Gruyter, Cambridge University Press, Taylor & Francis, and BMJ Publishing Group.
ARTiFACTS Partnership:
TMT is committed to advancing the use of blockchain in scholarly publishing. Under this partnership, ARTiFACTS and TMT will work together to integrate blockchain technology into the scholarly publishing workflow and collaborate on research to assess the effectiveness of the technology as a tool to improve speed, collaboration, access, transparency, and attribution in scholarly research.
TMT provides access for its author/researcher community to start using the platform to establish proof of existence for research outputs, share research artifacts, and provide and receive immutable attribution in real-time during their research. Authors will benefit from the ability to easily and securely share in-process work to speed collaboration and enhance their reputation as research is conducted.
