Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As the recent COVID-19 pandemic has driven technology forward, numerous studies have used different wearable technologies to monitor, predict, mitigate, and prevent COVID-19 in the past 3 years. The use of wearable sensors has proven to be an essential clinical tool that provided unique insights into COVID-19 management and prevention. These devices become more and more capable of collecting accurate data together with increasing computing capabilities, such as AI and machine learning. Now, more than ever, wearable technologies provide a fertile ground for countless applications in public health, sedentary behavior, remote clinical monitoring, and digital healthcare, in response to COVID-19.
This Special Issue is intended to report and explore recent approaches for health and wellbeing applications that were made during COVID-19. We welcome research studies, as well as review manuscripts focusing on the application of wearables for the objective recognition which might include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- Remote clinical monitoring;
- Digital healthcare;
- Public health;
- Sedentary behavior;
- Well-being;
- Physiological disorders;
- Detection;
- Prevention;
- Mitigation;
- AI;
- IOT;
- IMU;
- Machine learning.
