Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

pHealth 2024 is the 20th event in the pHealth conferences series, starting in 2003 as a dissemination activity in the framework of a European Project on Wearable Micro and Nano Technologies for Personalized Health with personal health management systems. Since then, pHealth conferences have evolved to be truly interdisciplinary, global scientific events covering the medical, technological, political, administrative, and social domains, and even philosophical or linguistic challenges of personalized health in transforming health systems. In the last 2–3 years, the focus has turned towards the 5P medicine paradigm of personalized, preventive, predictive, and participative precision medicine, knowledge representation and management, and the deployment of artificial intelligence and machine learning. This pHealth 2024 Special Issue presents the best papers selected from the conference, which took place on 27–29 May 2024 in Rende, Italy. It includes the keynote to the conference, one invited paper, and ten regular papers. Furthermore, it contains two papers awarded the CaseMix Young Scientists Best Paper Award, as well as one panel addressing the perspectives from the Italian Society for Biomedical Informatics (SIBIM) on education in health informatics. Thus, standardization in the field, security, privacy and trustworthiness, and learning systems as well as AI, but also practical solutions, are demonstrated.
