Internet of Things and Wireless Sensor Network for Early Disease Detection

Dear Colleagues,

The World Health Organization defined "health" in 1946, in its preamble of their constitution, as "a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of affections or diseases." Early disease detection often allows physicians to address the process of healing, or reduce the problems caused by the disease, with much better results. In this sense, the Internet of Things may be a good way to collect personal health data and generate alarms that may be evaluated by health professionals.

In addition to the technical aspects of obtaining data, the processing, analysis, and the generation of alarms from them, the security aspects related to this information, which is particularly sensitive, must be taken into account.

This Special Issue addresses the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) to obtain health data and the processing of these data for early disease detection in people of all ages.
