Otolaryngology: Big Data Application in Personalized Medicine

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of big data into precision medicine is reshaping the landscape of otolaryngology by facilitating more individualized, predictive, and efficacious approaches to patient care. Historically, clinical decision making in otolaryngology has been primarily guided by generalized treatment protocols. The advent of large-scale data analytics, however, has enabled a shift toward personalized care models informed by genomic, environmental, and behavioral data, enhancing the ability to anticipate disease risk, monitor progression, and tailor therapeutic interventions.

This Special Issue seeks to critically explore the application of big data methodologies across the spectrum of otolaryngologic disorders, encompassing risk stratification, disease pathogenesis, diagnostic accuracy, clinical management, and treatment outcomes. By addressing current limitations and highlighting emerging opportunities, the collection aims to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration and identify strategic priorities for future research.

We welcome high-quality and data-driven studies that advance the application of big data in otolaryngology and contribute to the evolution of precision medicine within the field.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
