Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the dynamic landscape of healthcare digitalization, the prominence of remote solutions has escalated, primarily driven by their mitigation of health risks and improved efficiency. The current epoch is marked by a remarkable expansion in the realm of wearable technologies—a trend poised to persist as new challenges and requirements emerge. These innovations encompass an array of devices such as wearable patches, smartwatches, wristbands, garment-integrated biosensors, skin-affixed tattoos, and other novel accessories, all playing a pivotal role in health monitoring and surveillance.
The advancement in these technologies allows for the detailed recording of various data types, such as physiological biometric parameters (heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature) and metrics related to activity and sleep patterns. Their application in diverse fields opens up considerable potential, dependent on their reliability and user acceptability.
A key development is the integration of wearable sensors with digital therapeutics, enhanced by digital alerts. This synergy significantly boosts clinical decision-making, healthcare efficiency, early detection of patient deterioration, and detailed monitoring of recovery, aiming to improve clinical outcomes.
This Special Issue focuses on cutting-edge advancements in wearable sensor technology in healthcare. We invite submissions on remote monitoring of biometric and non-biometric data, AI integration with e-health for clinical decision-making and treatment, and telehealth technology for patient recovery.
We seek studies that test the feasibility, reliability, and validation of sensor technologies, along with implementation strategies. Original research contributions and comprehensive review articles are welcome, providing insights into the latest innovations in wearable medical sensor technology for our readers.
