Although information and communication technologies (ICT) have been used in the healthcare sector for many years, the expectations and hopes regarding the added value of their use are still very high. Traditional applications mainly digitized analogue documents to improve the consistency, traceability, as well as the exchangeability of medical documentation in a health care facility. Digital representation of care processes by means of workflow systems is another traditional focus. However, the demanding demographic situation as well as the increasing technological capabilities revitalize the research in the health ICT. This led to the brand term "Digital Health" which seems to gradually replace the well-known term "eHealth" [1]. This editorial aims to reflect on this evolution and to underpin main changes. The special issue is also a tribute to the newly founded special interest group "Digital Health" of the German Informatics Society (GI e.V.). Looking at the health care related research in the IS research basket (e. g., ISR, MISQ, JMIS, JIT, ISJ, JSIS, EJIS, JAIS), we found that out of 800 articles only 50 explicitly use the term "Digital Health". These results illustrate that this term is rarely used in the literature. More frequently, we found Health Information Technology (HIT) as a similar term as well as specific technological themes such as Health Information Exchange (HIE), Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS), and Electronic Health Records (EHR). We deduced that the term Digital Health currently serves as a collective term to encapsulate various research streams investigating the implementation and utilization of digital solutions in healthcare. In their meaning, eHealth or Digital Health go far beyond the provision of electronic tools and services. They
