Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital health uses digital information to collect, share, and analyze health information to improve patient health, education, and healthcare delivery. Digital health comprises telemedicine, artificial intelligence, personalized medicine, implantable devices, and wearable sensors for health monitoring. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration states: “From mobile medical apps and software that support the clinical decisions doctors make every day to artificial intelligence and machine learning, digital technology has been driving a revolution in health care. Digital health tools have the vast potential to improve our ability to accurately diagnose and treat disease and to enhance the delivery of health care for the individual.”
This Special Issue aims to assess the current and future role of wearable and implantable sensors in health monitoring and patient care. I am pleased to invite you to submit your original research articles, viewpoints, case reports, meta-analyses, and reviews. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: the role of wearable and implantable sensors in enhancing accurate diagnosis and clinical decision making, monitoring patient health and patient tailored therapies, improving patient health, education and healthcare delivery, and personalized medicine. I look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Arash Arya
