Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health monitoring that measures and evaluates physiological signals generated by the human body can provide detailed information about human wellness, thus presenting significant potential for personalized healthcare. There is a great need for the long-term monitoring of human vital physiological parameters, such as EEG, ECG, heart rate, etc., for elderly and chronic patients to take care of their health (effectively) and provide treatment during emergencies. Wearable sensors present an exciting opportunity to measure human physiologic parameters in a continuous, real-time, and nonintrusive manner. The market for wearable medical devices has experienced unprecedented growth, with an increase from USD 8.9 billion in 2018 to USD 29.9 billion in 2023. The fast market growth along with advancements in microfabrication, microelectronics, flexible electronics, nanomaterials, wireless communication, and machine learning techniques have led to the evolution of various biosensors and textile-based wearable technologies.
Physiological monitoring with digital health platforms using artificial intelligence (AI) can provide detailed information about health conditions, therefore presenting great potential for personalized healthcare. Digital health monitoring redefines healthcare in multiple ways. It plays a vital role in this transformation, allowing easy access to relevant data, improving quality of care, and delivering value to patients, healthcare practitioners, hospitals, and governments.
In this Special Issue, we want to build a bridge between different scientific disciplines and offer highly innovative researchers in various fields a platform to exchange research in this exciting and emerging field: “Sensors for Physiological Monitoring and Digital Health: 2nd Edition”.
We, the Guest Editors of this Special Issue, represent research backgrounds in biomedical signal processing, health informatics, artificial intelligence, mobility research, and bioinformatics, focusing on biomedical applications and sports science. We stand for the highly interdisciplinary approach that is essential in research in this emerging scientific field and highly anticipate submissions from a broad range of specialties to this Special Issue.
