Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are transforming global health systems by moving from curative symptom-based to preventive data-based approaches. Continuous health monitoring plays a key role in this transformation. Smart clothes and smart wearables have been developed to track the individual’s vital signs. Furthermore, unobtrusive health monitoring has been integrated into smart cars and smart homes to collect relevant data. In particular, camera-based sensing of vital signs is promising. However, there are challenges to solve in order to complete the transformation of the medical paradigm. We need improved sensors, private data collection, a robust signal evaluation that copes with motion and other artifacts, trend analytics, and interconnection of the health systems. This Special Issue collects data from sensors and sensing technologies (hardware) and signal processing (software) in the broad application fields of continuous health monitoring and preventive medicine.
