PLOS Digital Health publishes boundary-breaking research that uses digital tools, technologies, and data to advance every aspect of health care. Our journal brings together research from engineers, clinicians, and researchers as well as social scientists and industry leaders to advance health care technologies and decision-making tools, or broaden accessible, effective care options for diverse communities around the world. We’ll work alongside this community of leaders to shape how Open Science transforms the future of research communication in the field. Through practices like sharing preprints, open data and open code, we empower researchers to ensure progress in this rapidly changing field is discoverable, reproducible and immediately accessible to all.

Leo Anthony Celi
Leo Anthony Celi is the clinical research director and principal research scientist at the MIT Laboratory for Computational Physiology and a practicing intensive care unit physician at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. His work brings together clinicians and data scientists to support research using data routinely collected during care. LCP built and maintains the publicly-available Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database and the Philips-MIT eICU Collaborative Research Database, with more than 20,000 users globally. Leo also founded and co-directs Sana, a cross-disciplinary organization at MIT, whose objective is to leverage information technology to improve health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. Leo is a course director for global health informatics to improve quality of care, and collaborative data science in medicine, both at MIT. He is an editor of the textbook for each course, both released under an open access license.
