Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in artificial intelligence and related technologies have enabled novel approaches to remote health monitoring systems for vulnerable populations, particularly older adults whose health status allows them to remain at home but who may be living alone for extended periods. Continuous monitoring facilitates the timely detection of risk situations and the generation of alerts for family members or caregivers, thereby enhancing safety, autonomy, and overall well-being. Beyond fall detection, a wide range of physiological signals can be monitored continuously, revealing atypical patterns or deviations from individual baseline profiles. While substantial variability may be considered normal for certain vital signs, such as heart rate, personalized physiological signatures at rest provide valuable context for assessing health status and longitudinal trends.
In parallel, biomechanical measurement, modeling, and assessment have emerged as key research areas with broad and impactful applications. Numerous studies address athletic performance optimization, as well as rehabilitation in adults and children with congenital or acquired conditions. In particular, computational and biomechanical models aimed at analyzing movement disorders associated with neurodegenerative diseases have gained strong recognition within the scientific community. These approaches contribute to earlier disease detection, improved assessment of motor progression, and more informed clinical decision-making.

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. Computation 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 1800 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.
