As healthcare undergoes a digital transformation, staying informed about medical advancements, health technology, and wellness trends has never been more crucial. However, many platforms tend to focus on investment news or repetitive narratives, leaving a void in accessible, engaging, and expert-led healthcare journalism.
This is where Emerge Smart Health steps in—a dynamic digital healthcare webzine designed to bridge the gap by offering curated insights, expert perspectives, and real-time developments within the global healthcare ecosystem.
In this exclusive interview, we speak with Dheeraj Khatore, Managing Editor of Emerge Smart Health, to discuss the publication’s vision, its impact on the digital health landscape, and how it aims to transform healthcare engagement for audiences worldwide.
1.What inspired the launch of this digital healthcare webezine, and what gap in the market does it aim to fill?
The inspiration for the webzine came from my own efforts to stay ahead in the industry by following the latest developments in digital health and innovation. More often than not, my search led me to LinkedIn posts recycling the same content or discussions among venture capitalists about multimillion-dollar investments in healthcare technology. The reality is that only a handful of well-curated platforms truly reflect the rapidly evolving landscape of digital health. This is no longer just a phase—this is the era of digital health.
2. How does the magazine plan to address critical topics in healthcare, wellness, and technology for its readers?

Our goal is to highlight groundbreaking innovations that are reshaping the future of healthcare.

5. How do you plan to leverage digital platforms to create a highly engaging experience for your audience?
Much like their Gen Z counterparts, healthcare professionals are deeply engaged with social media and digital platforms—after all, staying informed is essential in today’s fast-paced world. Digital health has evolved far beyond traditional telemedicine and electronic medical records; it is now at the forefront of innovation.
Artificial intelligence, for example, is transforming healthcare, with AI-powered applications achieving up to 90 percent accuracy in vital screenings.
