Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomedical engineering is experiencing a rapid transformation thanks to the integration of machine learning (ML), which has the potential to transform healthcare by improving the accuracy of diagnoses, optimizing treatments, and personalizing care based on patient characteristics. This can lead to a significant reduction in medical errors, better outcomes, and the greater efficiency of healthcare systems.
ML techniques are already widely used. In medical image processing, deep learning algorithms detect and classify pathologies in radiology images, improving the accuracy and speed of diagnoses. In biomedical signal analysis, machine learning is used to interpret complex data such as electrocardiograms (ECG) and electroencephalograms (EEG), enabling a better understanding of cardiac and neurological diseases. In genomics and drug discovery, machine learning helps to identify new therapeutic targets and predict drug response, therefore accelerating the drug development process. Additionally, personalized medicine leverages machine learning techniques to create tailored treatment plans.
The importance of exploring this field lies in the ability of ML to provide innovative solutions.
The objectives of the SI are as follows:
- ML for medical image analysis;
- Predictive analytics in healthcare;
- Personalized medicine and treatment optimization;
- Natural language processing in healthcare;
- Wearable devices and remote monitoring;
- Optimizazion of hospital resource allocation with ML;
- Telemedicine and remote diagnosis.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
