Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of technology has significantly transformed healthcare, enabling the development of innovative tools to enhance diagnostics, treatments, and patient care. This Special Issue, “Innovative Approaches and Tools for Healthcare and Medical Applications”, aims to showcase cutting-edge advancements and methodologies shaping the future of healthcare.
It spans a broad spectrum of innovations with transformative potential, encompassing areas such as telemedicine and remote monitoring systems, wearable health technologies, robotics in surgery and rehabilitation, nanotechnology applications, smart sensors integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), bioinformatics and genomics, augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) for medical training, blockchain solutions for healthcare, cybersecurity in medical systems, 3D printing technologies, biomaterials for advanced therapeutics, and digital therapeutics and mobile health applications.
Each of these domains contributes to a paradigm shift in healthcare by addressing critical challenges such as accessibility, efficiency, and patient-centered care. The aim of this Special Issue is not only to highlight technological advancements but also to explore their practical applications and impacts on clinical practice, ethics, and patient outcomes.
Researchers are invited to contribute original studies, case reports, and reviews that investigate novel systems, technologies, and approaches designed to improve healthcare outcomes.
