Thus, also influencing and transforming every day health practices by introducing new digital solutions and services, such as digital health communication, health websites and portals, fitness applications etc. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused further rapid changes to the healthcare system, wherein digital health solutions have become more relevant than ever. However, the digital and the analogue media still need to co-exist to safeguard inclusion and equal health for all.\u00a0This special issue addresses the ways in which media technology contributes to reconfiguring health practices, health experiences, and the sense-making of health and illness, from an everyday perspective, a concept referring to the \u201c(\u2026) ordinary, often familiar, and taken for granted, the common-sensical (\u2026) rarely theorized\u201d (Bennett, 2005:1, see also Lefebvre, Rabinovitch & Wander, 2017).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n We invite scholars to reflect on the challenges and opportunities of the digital transformation, the emotive and cognitive engagements, the interplay between \u2018online\u2019 and \u2018offline\u2019 practices, the conflicts, tensions and negotiations, as well as new and creative ways in which media and health practices are intertwined and played out in social, cultural, private, domestic, public and\/or commercial domains. Concrete empirical analyses in the form of case studies, as well as methodological and theoretical discussions are welcome. We invite international contributions from all over the world and strive for diversity in terms of nationalities among the authors, as well as the perspectives and approaches within media and health studies, such as \u2013 to mention but a few \u2013 cultural studies, science and technology studies, actor network theory, phenomenology and existential media studies, multimodal and mediated discourse analysis, studies of (re)mediation and medium theory, comparative approaches, (digital) ethnography, and mixed method approaches.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n References<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bennett, A.
