Applied System on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, healthcare has been undergoing a sector-wide transformation thanks to advances in computing, networking technologies, big data, and artificial intelligence. Healthcare is not only changing from reactive and hospital-centered to preventive and personalized but is also changing from disease-focused to well-being-centered. Healthcare systems, as well as fundamental medical research, are becoming smarter and enabled by Biomedical Engineering. Furthermore, with cutting-edge sensors and computer technologies, healthcare delivery could also yield better efficiency, higher quality, and lower costs. However, these innovations often do not bring in sustainability, health, and happiness for all people. Science and technology are to be complemented by arts, humanities, social sciences, and indigenous know-how and wisdom in order to increase the accessibility of the benefits for the needy across all regions and classes of people. We need an ethically aligned and driven healthcare system and sustainability. This topic, “Applied System on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability”, includes five journals, Journal of Clinical Medicine, Sustainability, Electronics, Healthcare, and Bioengineering, to publish excellent papers about relative fields. It enables interdisciplinary collaboration of science and engineering technologists in the academic and industrial fields, as well as networking internationally. Topics of interest include the following:

• Smart healthcare system analysis and design;
• Computer and human-machine interaction of healthcare system;
• Application of IoT (Internet of Things) on the healthcare system;
• Big data and artificial intelligence-enabled healthcare systems;
• Health-related aspects of sustainability;
• Environmental education and public health;
• Environmental engineering and biotechnology rehabilitation medicine and physiotherapy;
• Sports medicine;
