The book is a compilation of chosen and revised papers from the Second International Conference on Digital Health and Medical Analytics (DHA 2020), which was held in Beijing, China, on July 25, 2020.

Social networks play a crucial role in the healthcare industry, enabling patients to connect with healthcare professionals, share information, and access support. Analytics and engagement with health devices are also emerging as powerful tools for healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs. Big data, on the other hand, provides healthcare organizations with the opportunity to analyze vast amounts of patient data and identify patterns and trends that can inform decision-making and improve patient care.

Public health surveillance is an essential tool for detecting and responding to public health emergencies, such as pandemics and outbreaks. It involves the collection, analysis, and dissemination of health data to inform public health policies and interventions. Persuasive technologies, such as gamification and social media, are being used to engage and motivate patients to adopt healthy behaviors and seek healthcare.

Epidemic intelligence is the use of data and analytics to predict and respond to infectious disease outbreaks. It involves the collaboration of healthcare professionals, public health agencies, and other stakeholders to identify and track potential outbreaks, and develop effective responses. Participatory surveillance is a method of collecting health data from individuals and communities, which involves engaging them in the process of data collection and analysis.

Emergency medicine is a field that focuses on providing immediate medical care to patients in emergency situations, such as accidents, heart attacks, and strokes. Serious games for public health interventions are a novel approach to promoting healthy behaviors and preventing chronic diseases. Automated early identification of health threats and responses is a critical component of public health preparedness and response.

In conclusion, the book "Digital Health and Medical Analytics: Selected and Revised Papers from the Second International Conference on DHA 2020" provides a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in digital health and medical analytics. It highlights the importance of social networks, analytics and engagement with health devices, big data, public health surveillance, persuasive technologies, epidemic intelligence, participatory surveillance, emergency medicine, serious games for public health interventions, and automated early identification of health threats and responses in improving healthcare outcomes and promoting public health.
