Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good II

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of this Special Issue is to collect papers related to the design, implementation, deployment, operation, and evaluation of smart objects and technologies for social good. Social good includes products and services that benefit several people with special needs (e.g., older adults), the performance of sports, and young people.

These represent key issues in the implementation of different kinds of solutions in different fields, such as healthcare, safety, sports, environment, democracy, computer science, and human rights.

It is a wide field that is a very challenging subject for different research studies, requiring the integration of classical and innovative methodologies. It also promoted the combination of different knowledge from different sciences.

Both theoretical and application-oriented papers on various aspects of traditional and innovative medicine, intelligent systems and devices, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, data acquisition, data processing, diagnostic, preventive medicine, sensored devices, participatory medicine, big data, precision systems, automation, Internet of Things, and cyber-physical systems are invited.
