Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skin integrity is fundamental to health, as it acts as a barrier and contributes to the maintenance of overall well-being. Its compromise due to chronic wounds, dermatological conditions, or systemic health factors leads to a cascade of physical, psychological, and social challenges. Effective care in these scenarios often demands a multidisciplinary approach that bridges dermatology and rehabilitation medicine, prioritizing patient-centered and evidence-based strategies.
This Special Issue therefore focuses on advancing clinical practices and interdisciplinary approaches to promote skin health and recovery. Topics will center on practical interventions, chronic care strategies, and innovations that enhance quality of life and healthcare outcomes. Key areas of interest include rehabilitation interventions to support dermatological care, chronic wound management, and preventive measures to reduce complications.
This Special Issue also explores how systemic health factors, such as nutrition and inflammation management, can be clinically applied to improve outcomes. Additionally, technological advancements-including telemedicine, wearable health technologies, and AI-supported diagnostics-are highlighted as tools to enhance care delivery and foster collaboration among healthcare professionals.
Submissions are invited in the form of original research articles, reviews, and case reports that emphasize clinical applications and patient outcomes. Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Clinical strategies for promoting skin repair and recovery;
- Rehabilitation techniques to optimize skin health and prevent complications;
- The role of nutrition and systemic health factors in enhancing skin integrity;
- Technological tools for monitoring progress and personalizing care;
- Chronic care approaches for managing complex skin conditions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
