Feature Review Papers in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovations in Nursing Care Section

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of intelligent technologies into healthcare is revolutionizing how care is delivered, managed, and experienced. From AI-driven diagnostics to personalized digital health interventions, these innovations are empowering healthcare professionals and patients alike—enhancing clinical precision, streamlining operations, and fostering proactive, patient-centered care.

This Special Issue, entitled Feature Review Papers in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Innovations in Nursing Care Section, welcomes the submission of high-quality reviews that examine the role of intelligent technologies in transforming healthcare systems and practices. We seek to explore how these tools are being designed, implemented, and evaluated to improve health outcomes and provide more resilient healthcare infrastructures.

We welcome submissions in the form of:

• Review papers
• Systematic reviews
• Scoping reviews

The scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

• AI and machine learning in diagnostics and treatment planning;
• Smart hospital systems and intelligent infrastructure;
• Digital therapeutics and personalized care pathways;
• Robotics and automation in clinical settings;
• Virtual reality and simulation in healthcare training;
• Interoperability and integration of intelligent systems;
• Human-centered design in healthcare technology;
• Evaluating the impact of intelligent tools on equity and access.

Join us in exploring how intelligent technologies are reshaping the future of healthcare—making it more adaptive, inclusive, and effective.
