Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the healthcare sector by enabling more personalized, precise, predictive, and efficient care. The integration of AI with digital health technologies, including wearable sensors, electronic health records, and mobile platforms, provides a unique opportunity to customize treatments for individual patients, enhance clinical decision-making, and promote preventive strategies.
However, despite Artificial Intelligence's transformative potential in healthcare, its adoption faces considerable challenges. Protecting sensitive data, preventing cyberattacks, and ensuring fair and explainable algorithms remain crucial concerns.
Based on the above considerations, we are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue, 'Digital Health: AI-Driven Personalized Healthcare and Applications', which aims to highlight novel methodologies, real-world applications, and critical insights into how AI can improve healthcare delivery through personalization. This topic lies at the core of the journal’s mission, addressing computational innovations and intelligent systems that enhance medical diagnosis, prognosis, and patient monitoring.
This Special Issue seeks to bridge the gap between data science, clinical practice, and biomedical research by showcasing interdisciplinary efforts focusing on the development, validation, and deployment of AI models in healthcare. Unlike general-purpose AI in medicine, the focus here is on systems that adapt to individual variability, capturing the complexity of human health through personalized analytics.
We welcome contributions that explore theoretical frameworks and practical implementations, as well as reviews that summarize progress and outline future directions. Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- AI for patient stratification and outcome prediction;
- Personalized treatment planning and precision medicine;
- Image analysis and signal processing for personalized and precision medicine;
- Federated learning and data privacy in clinical AI;
- Explainable AI (XAI) and model transparency in healthcare;
- Integration of AI with mobile health and wearable technologies;
- Real-world applications and deployment studies;
- Multimodal data fusion (e.g. imaging and sensor data) for personalized solutions;
- Simulation and Digital Twin technologies for personalized treatment testing;
- Technologies for protecting sensitive data and preventing cyberattacks;
- Ethical and societal considerations in AI-driven
We look forward to hearing from you.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. 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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. AI is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
