Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the development of smart sensorial media, things, and cloud technologies, “Smart healthcare” is receiving significant consideration from academics, governments, industry, and from the healthcare community. Recently, the Internet of Things (IoT) has brought the vision of a smarter world into reality with a massive amount of data and numerous services. Cloud computing is an enabling technology in this scenario as it presents a flexible stack of computing, storage and software services at low cost. However, the convergence of IoT and the cloud can provide new opportunities for both technologies. IoT–cloud convergence could play a significant role in smart healthcare by offering better insight into heterogeneous healthcare content (e.g., X-ray, ECG, MRI, ultrasound image, clinical notes, claims, and so on) to support affordable and quality patient care. It can also support powerful processing and storage facilities of huge IoT data streams (big data) beyond the capability of individual "things" and provide automated real-time decision-making.
Topics include but are not restricted to the following:
- Innovative classification techniques and test beds for IoT-cloud enable connected healthcare;
- Enabling IoT-cloud convergence technologies for smart healthcare;
- Big data analytics and cognitive computing for smart healthcare;
- Energy-efficient data offloading and computing over IoT-Clouds for smart healthcare;
- Medical IoT and big data analytics for smart healthcare;
- Context-aware situation understanding for smart healthcare;
- Deep Learning approaches for smart healthcare;
- Dynamic resource provisioning on IoT- cloud for mobile healthcare;
- Techniques, algorithms and methods of processing smart healthcare data over the IoT-Cloud;
- IoT-Cloud-supported serious games or exergames for smart care.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
