Smart Healthcare: Technologies and Applications
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 pandemic and an aging population has generated greater demand for high-quality, high-quantity, and easily accessible healthcare services. “Smart Healthcare” refers to the utilization of next-generation information technologies in order to achieve personalized, intelligent, and interconnected healthcare services. The connections between Smart Healthcare systems enable a whole-cycle healthcare, expanding the roles of healthcare from diagnosis and treatment to health management, elderly care, and other parts of the life cycle of individuals. However, coordination among Smart Healthcare systems must be achieved through the application of next-generation technologies, system engineering, and operation management theories. Due to the characteristics of the healthcare industry, each Smart Healthcare system must be designed for safety, privacy, and efficient operation. The interconnectedness of Smart Healthcare systems also requires unique resolutions within the realm of healthcare data, information, and knowledge. The expansion of the cycle of care further demands innovations not only in disease diagnosis, surgery, and hospital management, but also in specialty fields such as digital health, the IoMT, the pharmaceutical supply chain, medical insurance, etc. In this Topic, we welcome submissions of original research and systematic reviews addressing, but not limited to, the following domains:
- Smart Healthcare data utilization and governance;
- Smart Healthcare information exchange and fusion;
- Smart Healthcare knowledge inference and recommendation;
- Smart Healthcare system engineering;
- Smart Healthcare systems operation management;
- Risk management in Smart Healthcare systems;
- Hospital operation management in the context of Smart Healthcare;
- Health screening and monitoring in Smart Healthcare systems;
- Online social media and OHC with Smart Healthcare;
- Diagnosis decision support in Smart Healthcare systems;
- Surgery and Smart Healthcare;
- Smart Healthcare-supported rehabilitation;
- Specialty care with Smart Healthcare;
- Healthcare behavior analysis in the context of Smart Healthcare;
- The evaluation and factor analysis of Smart Healthcare;
- Smart Healthcare data security management.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
