The "Journal of Medical Internet Research" founded in 1999, is a leading health informatics and health services/health policy journal (ranked first by impact factor in these disciplines) focusing on emerging technologies in health, medicine, and biomedical research. JMIR was the first open access journal covering health informatics, and the first international scientific peer-reviewed journal on all aspects of research, information and communication in the healthcare field using Internet and Internet-related technologies; a broad field, which is nowadays called "eHealth", which includes mHealth (mobile health). This field has also significant overlaps with what is called "consumer health informatics.", health 2.0/medicine 2.0, or participatory medicine.

This focus makes JMIR unique among other medical or medical informatics journals, which tend to focus on clinical informatics or clinical applications.
