Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cardiorespiratory assessment is an essential element of healthcare since it gives vital information about a patient's cardiovascular and respiratory health. By providing continuous, non-invasive monitoring of vital signs, wireless sensor networks (WSNs) has the potential to considerably improve the accuracy and efficiency of cardiorespiratory assessment. This can aid healthcare practitioners in detecting early indicators of heart and lung illness, tracking the evolution of these conditions, and adjusting treatment regimens as needed. Furthermore, WSN-based cardiorespiratory evaluation may be conducted remotely, allowing patients to receive care from the comfort of their own homes, which can be especially advantageous for individuals with chronic diseases or mobility concerns.
This Special Issue aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in this field.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Wireless sensor networks;
- Embedded systems;
- Bio signal processing;
- Wearable systems and sensors;
- m-health;
- Electrocardiography;
- Telemedicine;
- Artificial Intelligence (AI);
- Internet of Thing (IoT);
- Healthcare.
