About This Topic
The convergence of the Internet of Things with contemporary healthcare practice heralds a paradigm shift in how medical knowledge is gathered, interpreted, and acted upon, moving the locus of care from episodic clinical encounters toward continuous, data-driven, and profoundly personalized patient management.
This special issue serves as a dedicated nexus within which researchers and practitioners interrogate, advance, and critically examines this transformation in all its dimensions. We welcome contributions spanning intelligent wearable biosensors, networked chronic disease surveillance, ambient-assisted living environments, smart surgical and rehabilitation systems, and IoT-augmented clinical decision architectures. Equal emphasis is placed on the formidable challenges that accompany this technological momentum among them, the rigorous preservation of patient privacy, the harmonization of heterogeneous device ecosystems, the mitigation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities inherent to distributed medical networks, and the imperatives of energy-constrained edge deployment. Topics of particular relevance to this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Pervasive health monitoring architectures
- Intelligent wearable biosensing systems
- Ambient assisted living (AAL)
- Real-time physiological data acquisition
- Edge and fog computing in clinical environments
- Cyber-physical medical systems
- Wireless body area networks (WBAN)
- IoT-driven chronic disease surveillance
- Federated learning for distributed health data
- Medical device interoperability frameworks
- Healthcare cybersecurity and threat mitigation
- Privacy-preserving health data protocols
- Blockchain in IoT healthcare applications
- AI-augmented clinical decision support
- Precision medicine and connected diagnostics
- Low-power embedded systems for biomedical sensing
- Digital health ecosystem integration
- Telehealth and remote therapeutic intervention
