COVID-19: Medical Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The coronavirus pandemic, which began in January 2020, was a crisis that affected the entire world medically, socially, and economically. Most of the world was unprepared for such a catastrophe that overwhelmed the healthcare system and forced people to stay in their homes. The pandemic not only highlighted problems and unpreparedness in our current healthcare system, but also created the opportunity for telehealth and data analytics to come to the forefront.

This Special Issue invites high quality papers that discuss COVID-19 and the medical Internet of Things and big data analytics. This can include but is not limited to the topics listed below.

Prof. Dr. Newton Howard
Guest Editor
