Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Digital Technologies are offering many diversified innovative advances and solutions in the health area. At the applications level, the democratization of dedicated embedded systems, smart systems and virtual healthcare delivery, issues such as cyber security, data analytics, and also customer experience are receiving the interest of researchers and developers.

All these innovations bring advances in prevention, diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring, with improvements in patient outcomes.

The research and development in machine learning (ML), involving methodologies supported, for example, by deep learning (DL) and natural language processing (NLP), offers algorithms and approaches for building intelligent systems for the health area in general.

This Special Issue aims to present new applied tech solutions in health, healthcare, rehabilitation, ageing, including new signal processing tools and machine learning methodologies. The content should be related to, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  • embedded systems;
  • wearable tech;
  • big data;
  • AI and ML;
  • intelligent systems;
  • technologies (nutrition; fitness; wellbeing; ageing; behavioural and brain health)
