Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Significant challenges are encountered in the integration of robotics and IoT solutions into established healthcare systems, often characterized by legacy structures, especially in the context of applications such as BCI-assisted neurorehabilitation, wearable sensors, exoskeletons, and telerehabilitation. These challenges are compounded by financial barriers and the imperative for specialized training. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telehealth and remote monitoring, with IoT devices and robotics playing a crucial role in enabling the real-time transmission of patient data for remote care delivery. Wearable devices and IoT sensors serve to continuously monitor health parameters, contributing essential data for the development of personalized treatment plans. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning adds a layer of sophistication, empowering data-driven decision making, especially relevant in the context of wearable sensors and BCI applications. The proliferation of IoT devices collecting sensitive patient information introduces an elevated risk of cybersecurity threats, necessitating the implementation of robust security measures to protect medical data and uphold patient privacy. This Special Issue invites contributions that are focused on, but not limited to, the following areas: medical robotics, assistive robotics, internet of medical things, tele-health, E-health, wearable sensors, remote monitoring, smart healthcare, artificial intelligence-based healthcare, smart applications, simulation tools, AR/VR healthcare applications, telerehabilitation, haptics, etc.

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. Information is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
