Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, there has developed a considerable research interest in biomechanical and biomedical sensors and their inherent information processing techniques. This has led to many innovative applications in biomedicine and biomedical engineering. Such developments have also created exciting opportunities for solving a variety of complex problems in healthcare. The aim of this special issue is to present recent research findings on developments in the application of sensor- technologies to healthcare and human performance. In particular, the special issue will report on various sensor applications for measuring either the whole body or individual limbs. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts for publication on the following (but not limited to) areas:
- Biosensors, sensor design, sensor fusion for improved diagnosis
- Biomechanical sensors for health, human performance and biometrics
- Smart sensors
- Sensor signals and associated signal processing
Application areas (but not limited to):
- Disease diagnosis e.g. Cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, gait, sleep apnea
- Ageing healthcare e.g. Falls and injury prevention, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia
- Patient tracking and monitoring
- Movement analysis and sports performance
- Human computer interface
