Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine presents extended versions of selected contributions to pHealth 2021, the 18th International Conference on Wearable Micro and Nano Technologies for Personalized Health, held on 8–10 November 2021 in Genoa, Italy. The original papers are published in the IOS Press Studies in Health Technology and Informatics 2021.
The 2021 edition of pHealth will emphasize the interrelated aspects of pHealth, i.e., personalized, participative, preventive, predictive precision medicine (5P medicine) in health and social services. In that context, mobile technologies, micro–nano–bio smart systems, bio-data management and analytics, artificial intelligence and robotics for personalized health, the Health Internet of Things (HIoT), systems medicine, public health, and virtual care are of interest, as are new potential risks for security and privacy, safety potential and challenges, trustworthiness of partners and processes, the motivation and empowerment of patients in care processes, and health system challenges in developing countries. The multilateral benefits of pHealth technologies for all stakeholder communities offer enormous potential, not only for medical quality improvement and industrial competitiveness, but also for managing health care costs and, last but not least, improving patient experiences. One important topic of the 2021 event will address digital health ecosystems in the context of 5P medicine.
