Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The journal Bioengineering would like to compile a collection of papers to report on advancements in the field of AI for children’s diseases. The aim is to provide personalized tele-rehabilitation programs at home in children with developmental disorders, elaborating new clinical and technological approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of infants and children with motor developmental disorders and on the personalization of exercises in tele-rehabilitation training.

The aim of this Special Issue, entitled “Recent Advances in the Application of AI for Children’s Diseases”, is to make relevant work known to our colleagues in the field. To achieve this, the Special Issue, edited by Professor Giuseppina Sgandurra and Professor Giuseppe Prencipe, invites scientists to submit research articles, review articles, and short communications focused on this topic.

We look forward to your valuable contributions to make this Special Issue a reference resource for future researchers in the field of AI for children’s diseases.

Dr. Giuseppina Sgandurra
Dr. Giuseppe Prencipe

In recent years, the use of smartphones and other wireless technology in medical care has developed rapidly. However, in some cases, especially for pediatric medical problems, the reliability of information accessed by mobile health technology remains debatable. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the relevance of smartphone applications in the detection and diagnosis of pediatric medical conditions for which the greatest number of applications have been developed. This is the case of smartphone applications developed for the diagnosis of acute otitis media, otitis media with effusion, hearing impairment, obesity, amblyopia, and vision screening. In some cases, the information given by these applications has significantly improved the diagnostic ability of physicians. However, distinguishing between applications that can be effective and those that may lead to mistakes can be very difficult. This highlights the importance of a careful application selection before including smartphone-based artificial intelligence in everyday clinical practice. Full article
