Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the last decade, the scientific works have reported important developments in the field of smart environments, including both smart cities and smart homes. In this period, special attention has been given to human being wellbeing and here we can underline the connections between the environment and healthcare. Thus, a new concept of smart healthcare appears to reinforce the importance of sensors as part of smart sensors and smart sensing systems that play an important role in the IoT ecosystem, particularly in IoMT. The latest developments of sensing technology offer to dynamize Industry 4.0 together with IIoT implementation and also create new opportunities for processes optimization in precision agriculture. In this context, this Special Issue is calling on Portuguese researchers to contribute work associated with sensor technologies and their applications in a society that is taking large steps in the digital transformation of the economy and society in general. Special attention should be granted to the solutions associated with sustainable processes in industry and agriculture, taking into account the challenges regarding environmental protection and mitigating climate change. Important aspects to refer to are the aging phenomena and the applications of sensors and smart sensing system in high-quality medical services for optimized costs.
