Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue focuses on smart health, which inherently integrates ideas, tools, and expertise from a variety of disciplines, including computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, nursing, medicine, and public health. We solicit papers on theoretical and experimental research, prototyping efforts, case studies, and advances in technology related to smart health technologies and systems. Special topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Devices, Systems and Infrastructures for Smart Health

• Medical device prototypes for diagnosis/prevention
• Wearable and implantable sensors
• Disposable and cost-effective electronics
• Systems for health promotion and disease prevention
• Body sensor networks
• Smart environments for health
• Remote patient monitoring
• Mobile health technologies
• Data management
• Interface with health information systems such as electronic health records

Algorithms and Software for Smart Health

• Signal processing and pattern recognition
• Machine learning and clinical decision support
• Health informatics
• Algorithms for security and safety
• Communication protocols and algorithms
• Context-Aware Sensing
• Algorithms for anomaly detection
• Human-computer interaction
• Computational models for predicting and understanding behaviour

Scalable Smart Health

• Reliability, security, and data uncertainty challenges
• Data collection in the wild
• Collecting ground truth data in unstructured environments
• Approaches for deployment and validation of smart health systems in the wild
• Models for benchmarking and validation
• Patient-centered design approaches
• Interoperability of smart health technologies and existing medical data systems
• Techniques to enhance compliance
• Models to assess impact of the technology on healthcare cost
• Novel applications of smart health in chronic diseases management
• Clinical studies and field validation techniques
• Novel experimental testbeds
• Algorithms and frameworks for seamless sensing

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. 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. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
