Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smarthealth, the combination of computing technologies to address healthcare problems, is an interdisciplinary research area of great interest. Mobile and wearable devices, such as smartphones, smartwatches, and head-mounted displays, play an important role in smarthealth research by providing the ability to continuously collect, process, and display information on a personalized basis. Unlike conventional computing devices, mobile and wearable devices have their own challenges, including security/privacy concerns, usability design, computational and energy constraints, and so on. This Special Issue is devoted to recent advancements in mobile and wearable systems and applications in smarthealth, especially systems that address pressing healthcare issues.
Topics of interest for the Special Issue include (though are not restricted to) the following:
- wearable/mobile computing support for pandemic management, e.g., social distancing and contact tracing
- wearable cameras for healthcare applications;
- algorithms and methods for processing wearable data;
- security and privacy of wearable healthcare systems;
- wearable assistive technologies, including applications supporting assisted living;
- wearable/mobile sensing algorithms and systems related to healthcare;
- experiences in real-world deployments of wearable/mobile-based healthcare systems
