Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Mobile sensing and diagnostic capabilities are becoming extremely important for a wide range of emerging applications and fields, spanning mobile health, telemedicine, point-of-care diagnostics, global health, field medicine, the democratization of sensing and diagnostics tools, environmental monitoring, and citizen science, among many others. This Special Issue will explore these application areas and provide a timely summary of cutting-edge results and emerging technologies in these interdisciplinary fields.

Unnecessary ED visits and transfers to hand clinics raise treatment costs and patient burden at trauma centers. In the present COVID-19 pandemic, needless transfers can increase patients’ risk of viral exposure. Therefore, this review analyzes different aspects of the remote diagnosis and triage of traumatic hand injuries. The most common file was photography, with the most common devices being cell phone cameras. Treatment, triage, diagnosis, cost, and time outcomes were assessed, showing concordance between teleconsultation and face-to-face patient evaluations. We conclude that photography and video consultations are feasible surrogates for ED visits in patients with traumatic hand injuries. These technologies should be leveraged to decrease treatment costs and potentially decrease the time to definitive treatment after initial evaluation. Full article
