Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of economically efficient methods to assist the rehabilitation process and to promote health has become an emerging problem in health care. This makes clear the need for user-centered and home-based systems to monitor biological and movement-related signals, particularly those that have a greater impact on health-related quality of life. In recent years, the evolution of the miniaturization of electronic components combined with developments in the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence has had the potential to extend the rehabilitation process to the home-based environment.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to highlight innovative developments related to current challenges and opportunities in rehabilitation via the development of technology solutions for health-related remote monitoring to support and assist the rehabilitation process.
