Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Indoor positioning, as a technology closely related to people’s location and activities, has been increasingly widely used in the medical field in recent years. Against the backdrop of cross-disciplinary research as a major scientific breakthrough, applying indoor navigation and positioning technology to provide services for the medical field is an important task for relevant researchers and has received increasing attention from more and more researchers.
This Special Issue aims to compile original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the application and development trend of indoor positioning technology in the medical field.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- The application of indoor positioning technology in medical robots;
- The application of indoor positioning technology in the elderly care;
- The application of indoor positioning technology in home care;
- Indoor positioning technology and sports health;
- Indoor positioning technology and diagnosis.
