Innovations in Environmental Technologies for Better Health

Dear Colleagues,

For the World Health Organization (WHO), healthier environments could prevent almost a quarter of the global disease burden. Sustainable climate conditions, good air quality, potable water, sanitation and hygiene, safe use of chemicals, biological and radiation products, healthy and safe workplaces, sound agricultural practices, health-friendly cities, and preserved wildlife are prerequisites for good health.

Different types of sensors spread across the ambient environment will provide large amounts of data on the most diverse aspects. These sensors will feed big data through the new telecommunications networks. Artificial intelligence algorithms will then analyze this big data and generate insights to improve people's quality of life and health on a large scale.

New technological horizons will trigger a significant impact on humanity, such as smart cities, Internet of Things, and smart sensor networks, and artificial intelligence will directly impact people's quality of life and health.
Therefore, this special edition focuses on technological innovations that improve people's quality of life and health because of improvements in the environment using the new technologies in sensors, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, healthcare and more.
