Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The digital transformation of healthcare introduces a paradigm shift driven by the integration of advanced technologies into the healthcare sector. This transformation aims to enhance the efficiency, accessibility, quality, and equity of healthcare services. It is also believed that this digital transformation could potentially promote equitable access to healthcare services, enhance disease prevention and management, and empower individuals for their health and wellbeing.
On the other hand, with recent significant technological advancements, the utilization of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable devices has revolutionized the domains of wellbeing and healthcare. The ability of IoT and wearables to seamlessly capture and compile longitudinal, real-time data makes them immensely valuable across a spectrum of healthcare applications.
With these two contexts in mind, we are thrilled to announce our upcoming Special Issue dedicated to exploring the transformative potential of IoT and wearables in healthcare. We invite contributions from both the academic and industrial communities, seeking original and high-quality papers that delve into the latest trends, innovative solutions, and prevailing challenges associated with the digital transformation of healthcare using IoT and wearable technologies.
While we have already received submissions addressing a range of engaging topics, we continue to welcome insightful contributions on subjects including, but not limited to, the following:
- IoT and wearables application in healthcare;
- The role of IoT and wearables in advancing smart healthcare initiatives;
- Digital Transformation of healthcare using IoT and wearables;
- Privacy, security, and safety concerns in IoT and wearable systems in healthcare;
- Design and implementation of RFID-based IoT devices;
- Exploring the potential of IoT and wearables in diverse digital health applications;
- IoT, wearables and AI integration for a digital and smart healthcare system;
- Overcoming practical implementation challenges in IoT applications.
