This Special Issue will showcase interdisciplinary research that contributes to improving health outcomes, healthcare delivery, healthcare economics, and patient well-being. We welcome empirical and evidence-based studies that integrate innovative solutions and economic considerations to address challenges in clinical practice, public health, and healthcare systems.
We invite submissions exploring how innovations and economic strategies can support effective, ethical, and equitable healthcare. Manuscripts should particularly explore contemporary topics in health policy, highlight social issues, and propose practical, evidence-based solutions.
We welcome submissions on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
-Patient behavior and treatment access in the context of the pharmaceutical and medical markets, with a focus on health outcomes and clinical decision-making;
-Protection of patient rights and ethical issues in healthcare delivery;
-Medical imaging in neurosciences;
-Clinical applications of artificial intelligence in healthcare;
-Evaluation of healthcare interventions and patient-centered outcomes;
-Pharmacoeconomics in support of clinical decision-making;
-Safety and regulatory evaluation of medicinal products and devices;
-Innovative approaches to managing chronic diseases;
-Interdisciplinary models for long-term patient care;
-Clinical trials and their contributions to treatment innovation;
-Organizational strategies for enhancing efficiency in health services;
