Applied System on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability 2023

Dear Colleagues,

Recently, healthcare is 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 (https://www.ecbios.asia/). Healthcare systems, as well as fundamental medicine research, are becoming smarter and utilizing biomedical engineering. Furthermore, with cutting edge sensors and computer technologies, healthcare delivery could also yield better efficiency, higher quality, and lower cost. However, these innovations often do not lead to sustainability, health, and happiness for all people. Science and technology are to be complemented by the 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 ethically aligned and driven health care systems and sustainability. This topic “Applied System on Biomedical Engineering, Healthcare and Sustainability 2023” includes five journals, Journal of Clinical Medicine, Applied Sciences, Electronics, Bioengineering, and Healthcare, which aim to publish excellent papers about relative fields. This enables an interdisciplinary collaboration between science and engineering technologists in the academic and industrial fields, as well as internaional networking.

Topics of interest include the following:

• Smart healthcare system analysis and design;
• Computer and human–machine interactions in the healthcare system;
• Application of Internet of Things (IoT) in the healthcare system;
