Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Topic brief introduction: We are pleased to introduce a Special Issue focusing on eHealth, telemedicine, AI, and rehabilitation in the precision medicine era. This Special Issue explores how these technologies intersect to optimize healthcare delivery and enhance patient outcomes.

Background: The integration of eHealth, telemedicine, AI, and rehabilitation represents a major advancement in healthcare, enhancing treatment personalization and patient care through digital technologies. Now, these technologies promise to further enhance precision medicine with personalized treatments and proactive care.

Aim and Scope: This Special Issue explores the applications of eHealth, telemedicine, AI, and telerehabilitation in advancing precision medicine. It aims to optimize diagnosis, treatment strategies, and patient management through innovative technological solutions.

Types of Papers Solicited: Original research articles and reviews that explore the integration of digital health technologies in personalized medicine and rehabilitation.

This Special Issue will feature papers on the integration, evaluation, and practical application of eHealth and AI in medicine and rehabilitation. It aims to provide a platform for sharing rapid advancements in AI, precision medicine, wearable devices, remote monitoring, eHealth applications, telemedicine, telerehabilitation, and virtual conferencing tools. Themes include, but are not limited to, innovative assessment and screening methods, AI-driven treatment planning and monitoring, personalized intervention strategies, and the use of LLMs (Large Language Models) in healthcare. Throughout this Special Issue, I look forward to facilitating active discussion on this topic.

Background: The early detection of mental health crises is crucial for timely interventions and improved outcomes. This study explores the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in analyzing social media data to identify early signs of mental health crises. Methods: We developed a multimodal deep learning model integrating natural language processing and temporal analysis techniques. The model was trained on a diverse dataset of 996,452 social media posts in multiple languages (English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic) collected from Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook over 12 months. Its performance was evaluated using standard metrics and validated against expert psychiatric assessments. Results: The AI model demonstrated a high level of accuracy (89.3%) in detecting early signs of mental health crises, with an average lead time of 7.2 days before human expert identification. Performance was consistent across languages (F1 scores: 0.827–0.872) and platforms (F1 scores: 0.839–0.863). Key digital markers included linguistic patterns, behavioral changes, and temporal trends. The model showed varying levels of accuracy for different crisis types: depressive episodes (91.2%), manic episodes (88.7%), suicidal ideation (93.5%), and anxiety crises (87.3%). Conclusions: AI-powered analysis of social media data shows promise for the early detection of mental health crises across diverse linguistic and cultural contexts. However, ethical challenges, including privacy concerns, potential stigmatization, and cultural biases, need careful consideration. Future research should focus on longitudinal outcome studies, ethical integration of the method with existing mental health services, and developing personalized, culturally sensitive models.
