Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The intersection of the innovative sensors, Internet of Things (IoT) and healthcare has ushered in a new era of medical advancements, revolutionizing patient care, data-driven diagnosis, and health monitoring. This special issue aims to explore the latest developments and innovations in the field of IoT and Smart Healthcare, focusing on cutting-edge research and technologies that enable the seamless integration of IoT devices into the healthcare ecosystem. As we move into a more connected and data-centric world, the importance of efficient and secure healthcare solutions cannot be overstated. This special issue will provide a platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to share their expertise and insights in this rapidly evolving domain.

In recent years, the healthcare industry has seen a dramatic transformation with the adoption of IoT technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the need for remote healthcare monitoring and telemedicine, underlining the urgency of this special issue. Furthermore, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI), hardware accelerators, bendable electronics, and reconfigurable low-power IoT devices are crucial components of smart healthcare systems. These technologies enable real-time data analysis, personalized treatment, and efficient resource management, ultimately improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

Given the medical and social significance of Helicobacter pylori infection, timely and reliable diagnosis of the disease is required. The traditional invasive and non-invasive conventional diagnostic techniques have several limitations. Recently, opportunities for new diagnostic methods have appeared based on the recent advance in the study of H. pylori outer membrane proteins and their identified receptors. In the present study we assess the way in which outer membrane protein–cell receptor reactions are applicable in establishing a reliable diagnosis. Herein, as well as in other previous studies of ours, we explore the reliability of the binding reaction between the best characterized H. pylori adhesin BabA and its receptor, the blood antigen Leb. For the purpose we developed surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and double resonance long period grating (DR LPG) biosensors based on the BabA–Leb binding reaction for diagnosing H. pylori infection. In SPR detection, the sensitivity was estimated at 3000 CFU/mL—a much higher sensitivity than that of the RUT test. The DR LPG biosensor proved to be superior in terms of accuracy and sensitivity—concentrations as low as 102 CFU/mL were detected. Full article

This article introduces an algorithm for detecting glucose and silicon levels in solution. The research focuses on addressing the critical need for accurate and efficient glucose monitoring, particularly in the context of diabetic management. Understanding and monitoring silicon levels in the body is crucial due to its significant role in various physiological processes. Silicon, while often overshadowed by other minerals, plays a vital role in bone health, collagen formation, and connective tissue integrity. Moreover, recent research suggests its potential involvement in neurological health and the prevention of certain degenerative diseases. Investigating silicon levels becomes essential for a comprehensive understanding of its impact on overall health and well-being and paves the way for targeted interventions and personalized healthcare strategies. The approach presented in this paper is based on the integration of hyperspectral data and artificial intelligence techniques. The algorithm investigates the effectiveness of two distinct models utilizing SVMR and a perceptron independently. SVMR is employed to establish a robust regression model that maps input features to continuous glucose and silicon values. The study outlines the methodology, including feature selection, model training, and evaluation metrics. Experimental results demonstrate the algorithm’s effectiveness at accurately predicting glucose and silicon concentrations and showcases its potential for real-world application in continuous glucose and silicon monitoring systems.
