Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital transformation has dramatically reshaped the healthcare industry by providing access to modern diagnostic tools, health analytics and advancements in minimally invasive robotic surgery. Digital healthcare has facilitated the use of telemedicine, online consultations, remote monitoring and many more services. The use of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) in the healthcare sector has fueled the current digital healthcare system by collecting patients’ data. With the utilization of more and more wearable devices, 5G will need to shift to 6G for enhanced communication. Instead of the smart technology era, 6G is expected to be a truly AI-driven technology era, where IoT will be switched to the Internet of Everything. When enabling 6G technologies, there are accompanying issues and challenges that need to be analyzed.
This Special Issue focuses on a wide range of issues related to the application of 6G in various fields. The main focus of this Special Issue is digital healthcare.
Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Detection of EEG, EMG and ECG using smart wearable devices and AI
- Big data analytics and deep learning in 6G
- Data privacy and security in future healthcare
- Data storage, collection, processing, training and modeling in 6G
- Federated learning for healthcare in 6G
- Advanced AI algorithms for the automatic examination of physiological signals obtained from wearable devices
