Publications

Publishing in academic journals is your opportunity to reach beyond regulators and connect with research funders, healthcare leaders, commissioners and clinicians worldwide.

The stakeholders that drive the adoption of digital health technologies are trained to seek out transparently reported, high-quality evidence to support their decisions. Academic publications allow you to satisfy this need by distilling key messages from your clinical investigations into a clear and compelling narrative for your target audience. Here are a few core considerations to make along the way:

1. Who do you want to speak to?
   This might be one or more stakeholder groups. Each holds different disciplines, professions and geographies with its own expectations for the type, form and placement of evidence. 

2. What story do you want to tell?
   Your clinical investigations hold a wealth of information, but focus should be your priority here. Think about the problem your audience experiences and pick the technical, clinical, economic or usability data which most clearly puts it to rest. 

3. Where do you want to publish?
   The last two questions feed into this, but the reputation, time and cost of publications vary between journals. Think about what matters to you before picking your priorities.
