Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable devices, by integrating technologies such as sensors, wireless communication, and multimedia, can realize real-time monitoring and data analysis of human physiological information, providing strong support for health management and medical diagnosis. For instance, wearable devices with electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring capabilities can track users' heart rate and rhythm in real-time, enabling early detection of cardiac issues like arrhythmias. Smart blood glucose monitors assist diabetic patients in monitoring their blood sugar levels in real time and offer personalized medication advice.
In recent years, wearable device technology has advanced rapidly. On one hand, continuous advancements in sensor technology have significantly improved the monitoring accuracy of wearable devices. On the other hand, the incorporation of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms has empowered these devices to conduct more complex data analysis, leading to even more precise health recommendations. This Special Issue aims to show the latest developments and applications of various wearable devices used for health monitoring and disease diagnosis. Original research articles and reviews are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Robert LeMoyne
