Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue aims to present cutting-edge research and comprehensive reviews exploring the latest technological innovations designed to improve human safety, health, and well-being. It seeks to highlight interdisciplinary efforts involving artificial intelligence, machine learning, wearable technologies, robotics, virtual and augmented reality, IoT systems, big data analytics, and advanced materials. Contributions will discuss theoretical and practical aspects, including system design, implementation, efficacy evaluations, ethical considerations, and regulatory implications.
Key topics of interest include but are not limited to predictive analytics for hazard prevention, smart wearable sensors for real-time health monitoring, autonomous systems for high-risk tasks, immersive technologies for training and behavioral change, technological advancements in protective gear, and ergonomic solutions to enhance human–technology interactions. The Special Issue will provide a valuable academic platform for scholars, industry experts, and policymakers to exchange knowledge, identify research gaps, and foster collaborations, ultimately driving forward innovative solutions that meaningfully improve safety and health across diverse environments.
