Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Infectious disease diagnosis is an interdisciplinary endeavor that unites clinical expertise with technology, reflecting the diverse landscapes of case management and the range of healthcare settings. This is a unique and opportune moment for us to harness the widespread adoption of mobile phones, the growing utilization of information technologies, and the rapid advances in data science and artificial intelligence. These advancements enable for the development of innovative diagnostic platforms and approaches that can potentially shift the point of care away from high-resource facilities, enhance diagnostic performance, streamline workflows, integrate seamlessly with electronic records, and enable predictive epidemiology. We find ourselves in an exciting period filled with numerous opportunities for improvements which will lead to better patient satisfaction, more precise disease surveillance, and enhanced technical aspects of diagnostic assay performance and form factor.
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue titled "Mobile Health, Machine Learning, and Diagnostics for Infectious Diseases". On behalf of the Diagnostics editorial office, we welcome you to contribute by submitting original research and review articles that explore new approaches in mobile health, data science, devices, or assays to advance infectious disease diagnostics.
We hope that you may join us in contributing and become a part of driving progress in the field of infectious disease diagnostics.
