Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
“AI-Driven Rehabilitation: Advances in Personalized Healthcare” explores the evolving role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in shaping next-generation rehabilitation within the broader vision of personalized healthcare and Healthcare 5.0. AI-driven approaches, increasingly supported by Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), enable the transparent and continuous analysis of patient-specific data, fostering trust while supporting adaptive and individualized therapy pathways aligned with the principles of 4P medicine—predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory care.
These advancements allow more accurate assessment of functional recovery, early identification of risks, and the design of targeted interventions. In this context, enabling technologies such as wearable and vision-based tracking systems contribute to the objective monitoring of patient performance, while immersive solutions such as extended reality (XR) offer new opportunities for engaging and interactive rehabilitation experiences.
This Special Issue aims to collect contributions on innovative AI-based methods and applications for rehabilitation, with a focus on personalization, adaptability, and clinical impact. Submissions addressing integrated and patient-centered solutions are particularly encouraged, including those supporting remote and home-based care and contributing to more efficient and scalable healthcare systems.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
