Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing demand for lower-cost, compact, and smarter wearable communication and healthcare devices has resulted in extensive research that has been dedicated to the development of novel wearable smart healthcare and IOT medical systems. With this Special Issue, we intend to present innovations in wearable communication and healthcare systems. This Special Issue will provide the technical details of modern smart wearable communication and healthcare systems. The information presented in this Special Issue is intended to present new trends and technologies in smart communication and healthcare systems. Smart healthcare devices are equipped with sensors such as thermometers and heart rate monitors. Sensors such as monitors help to maintain patients’ physical conditions. The collected medical data may be transmitted to medical centers for further diagnosis and healthcare assistance. Rapid advances in developing and implementing wearable sensors, actuators, Internet of Things (IoT), and intelligent algorithms provide the tools, potential utility, and unique advantages that can be used to develop smart healthcare devices and rehabilitation systems. In smart medical centers, wireless sensors are attached to patients to collect real-time medical information, such as their fever, heartbeat, sweat, oxygen saturation readings, and other medical information. The medical record of a patient can be stored on a cloud to be accessed by physicians and medical centers whenever it is needed and from anywhere. This Special Issue will be of great interest to biomedical researchers and engineers, wearable technologies researchers, communication systems researchers and engineers, quantitative management, system engineering, and medical center management.
This Special Issue will combine state-of-the-art research, practical applications, and smart technologies. We hope that it will bring together researchers and engineers to discuss various research and development achievements in the field of communication and medical sensors for smart healthcare applications.
Potential contributions to this Special Issue include work related to the novel design and development of wearable biological sensors, wearable medical IoT systems, and wearable communication devices. This Special Issue provides the opportunity for researchers and engineers to publish their novel innovations in the areas of wearable communication and medical devices, smart IoT systems, and medical sensors. These contributions could address state-of-the-art developments and methodologies, as well as applications of wearable communication and medical devices and healthcare systems.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovations in wearable system technologies;
- Wearable body area networks (BANs);
- Innovations in wireless body area networks (WBANs);
- Wearable and implantable medical sensors;
- Wearable communication and IoT systems;
- Innovations in wearable smart technologies for communication and medical applications;
- Novel applications in wearable devices.
