Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, smart sensors, and pervasive systems have opened new opportunities for supporting health and wellbeing through intelligent, connected, and context-aware solutions. These technologies enable remote, real-time, and non-invasive monitoring of physiological and environmental parameters, fostering personalized care, early detection, preventive interventions, and long-term health management.
This Special Issue seeks high-quality, original research addressing the design, implementation, and validation of IoT-enabled and sensor-based systems for health-related applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, novel sensing devices, mobile and wearable health technologies, ambient intelligence, edge and cloud computing architectures, artificial intelligence for data analysis, and aspects related to interoperability, privacy, and security.
Interdisciplinary works combining technical innovation with clinical relevance are welcome. Contributions should demonstrate how sensing technologies can be effectively integrated into real-world healthcare and wellbeing scenarios, highlighting both methodological rigor and practical impact.
This Special Issue aligns with the scope of Sensors, as it focuses on the development and application of sensor technologies in one of today’s most impactful domains: health and wellbeing.
