Selected Papers from 2019 IEEE Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability (IEEE ECBIOS 2019)

Dear Colleagues,

2019 IEEE Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability (IEEE ECBIOS 2019) will be held in Okinawa, Japan on May 31~June 3, 2019, and it will provide a unified communication platform for researchers in the topics of Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare, and Sustainability. Recently, Healthcare has been undergoing a sector-wide transformation thanks to advances in computing, networking technologies, big data, and artificial intelligence. Healthcare is not only changing from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive and personalized but is also changing from disease-focused to wellbeing-centered. Healthcare systems, as well as fundamental medicine research, are becoming smarter and more enabled in Biomedical Engineering. Furthermore, with cutting-edge sensors and computer technologies, healthcare delivery could also yield a better efficiency, higher quality, and lower cost.

This Special Issue on “Selected papers from 2019 IEEE Eurasia Conference on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability (IEEE ECBIOS 2019)” is expected to select excellent papers presented in IEEE ECBIOS 2019 about the topics of environmental health sciences and public health. It will link several scientific disciplines, including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, oncology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology, in an integrated fashion, to address critical issues related to environmental quality and public health. We invite investigators to contribute original research articles as well as review articles to this Special Issue. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Environmental toxicology, mutagenesis, and carcinogenesis;
• Environmental epidemiology and disease control;
• Health risk assessment and management;
• Ecotoxicology and ecological risk assessment and management;
• Natural resources damage assessment;
• Environmental chemistry and computational modeling;
• Environmental policy and management;
• Environmental engineering and biotechnology;
• Emerging issues in environmental health and diseases;
• Environmental education and public health.

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. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 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 2500 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.
