Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Internet of Things are small autonomous apparatuses that incorporate sensing abilities, computing power, and communication capabilities. The recent advances in the embedded design of these autonomous apparatuses make it clear that the near-future versions of theses apparatuses will be widely available with low cost, and empowered with advanced processing and wireless networking technologies, which in turn will enable the Internet of Things to be commonly feasible for various applications including public health and medical services. A healthcare IoT network contains dimensional cooperative autonomous sensors to track biological conditions or symptoms of patients, such as euthermia, blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose, brain activities, gesture or contaminants and to collaboratively transmit their sensed data through a communication media to primary healthcare service. The latest communication networks are bi-directional, which also can facilitate the management of the sensing activity.
This recent phenomenon facilitates healthcare delivery using new technology paradigms. Implementing the internet of healthcare things has induced the existence of contemporary services in various healthcare fields such as neurology, cardiology, endocrinology, urology, and another life-critical emergency utility. Many preeminent healthcare institutions are expanding their expenditure on innovative smart healthcare services, and modern applications of the Internet of healthcare things (Intelligent/Autonomous Healthcare Service). These new healthcare services demand new models to acquire and handle sensory data from the various Internet of healthcare things and efficient strategies for accurate analysis and governance of such data.
Hence the main interest for this special issue is to present the recent research work of researchers and practitioners who are conducting investigation on the field of smart and intelligent healthcare services and strategy to present the current research problems, issues and advances on such field. The aim of this special issue is to offer insights for discussions related to the considerable research challenges and comprehensive achievements on these topics of interest.
List of Topics:
Research papers related to practical and theoretical issues and problems are invited.
The List of Topics may include (but are not limited to):
- Situation/Context Aware Technology and Service in internet of healthcare things.
