Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, a series of studies have shown how digital tools, such as smartphones and smartwatches, equipped with embedded sensors, can be used to assess and monitor people's health, including sensory and motor systems. Wearable devices also play an important role in human health management.
In this Special Issue, we invite the submission of articles on sensory, motor assessment, and disease analysis using smart device technologies (smartphones, smartwatches, wearable devices, or similar devices). These studies may include method descriptions, applications in human diseases and health, or discussions of their potentialities and limitations.
Prof. Dr. Givago Souza
Guest Editor
