Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Bioinformatics algorithms and tools are relevant in the context of human health to identify biomarkers, predict onset, simulate molecular and protein interaction, evaluate treatment outcomes, and thus support the design of disease treatments and therapies.

Biomedical data modeling, processing and analysis can be used to analyze and correlate large datasets of information related to human health, allowing the identification of relevant features and patterns that can be useful to support clinicians in diagnosis and treatment as well as governments for health-related policies.

Clinical and biological data contain relevant information and patterns that must be extracted by a well-defined signal processing procedure to furnish quantitative measurements to physicians that can use these extracted information in decision support systems for scientific hypotheses and medical diagnoses. For instance, the application of artificial-intelligence-based modules is considered a relevant support for the analysis of biosignals and bioimages and their clinical-related extracted features in the early detection, investigation, diagnosis, classification, management and treatment of many pathological conditions and diseases, as well as in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The design and definition of innovative biomedical informatics algorithms and biomedical data processing strategies are always highly required for the analysis of the huge quantity of available data to be applied in the human health and environmental context.

This Special Issue hosts research results regarding recent advances and trends concerning novel algorithms and tools for biomedical solutions as well as the analysis of biomedical signals and images in clinical practice.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Data modeling and management for health related information
  • Large-scale biological and biomedical databases
  • Biomedical data integration and solutions
  • Algorithms for health informatics
  • Prediction and inference models for biological and health-related information
  • Scientific workflows and process management in health informatics
  • High-performance solutions for bioinformatics and biomedicine
  • Architectures for bioinformatics and biomedicine
  • Clinical and biological signal management
  • Bioengineering solutions for epidemiological phenomena
  • Bioengineering solutions for human health

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Rehabilitation is a complex set of interventions involving the assessment, management, and treatment of injuries. It aims to support and facilitate an individual’s recovery process by restoring a physiological function, e.g., limb movement, compromised by physical impairments, injuries or diseases to a condition as close to normal as possible. Innovative devices and solutions make the rehabilitation process of patients easier during their daily activities. Devices support physicians and physiotherapists in monitoring and measuring patients’ physical improvements during rehabilitation. In this context, we report the design and implementation of a low-cost rehabilitation system, which is a programmable device designed to support tele-rehabilitation of the upper limbs. The proposed system includes a mechanism to acquire and analyze data and signals related to rehabilitation processes. Full article
