The issue collects rich contributions on topics as diverse as the role of e-mail consultations in connection with interpersonal communication between patients and providers and the influence of m-Health apps in terms of health management.

Altogether, the special issue provides a forum to discuss the different roles of communication in the context of the transition towards digital health.
