Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, ‘Biomimetic Approaches in Healthcare—Innovations Inspired by Nature: 3rd Edition’, explores the innovative intersection of healthcare and nature-inspired solutions. This Special Issue will delve into the emerging field of biomimetics, where scientists and healthcare professionals draw inspiration from the natural world to develop groundbreaking healthcare technologies and strategies. By mimicking biological processes, structures, and systems found in the environment, researchers aim to create effective and sustainable solutions for healthcare challenges. This Special Issue will feature contributions that showcase how biomimetic approaches are revolutionizing medical diagnostics, treatment modalities, and healthcare practices. From bio-inspired materials for regenerative medicine to nature-inspired algorithms for healthcare data analysis, this Special Issue will highlight the diverse applications of biomimetics in improving healthcare outcomes.
