Overview
The growing trend of the aging population poses many challenges for the global society. Many of the challenges relate to the healthcare and rehabilitation needs of the elderly; these needs require significant time, resources, and manpower. The emerging field of flexible bio-mechatronic technologies, such as wearable sensors, actuators and robots, will play a crucial role in the design and development of next generation healthcare and rehabilitation systems that safely and smartly interact with human patients. Rapid advances in developing and implementing such wearable sensors, actuators, Internet of Things (IoT) and intelligent algorithms have demonstrated the growing significance, potential utility, and the unique advantages that can be bought to intelligent healthcare and rehabilitation systems. This special issue (SI) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss various research and development achievements in the field of multi-sensor based intelligent IoT systems for intelligent healthcare and rehabilitation applications. Potential contributions include work related to novel design and development of biological sensors, IoT infrastructures, soft robotics, medical prosthetics, biomechanical modelling and health monitoring, as well as exploring novel algorithms to analyze the data and address security and privacy issues in this field. Addressing these challenges has attracted increasing attentions from researchers in recent years.
This special issue will provide opportunities for researchers and practitioners to publish their latest innovative contributions in the areas of intelligent IoT systems, such as sensors, actuators, and data processing, in the context of rehabilitation and biomedical healthcare applications. These contributions could address state-of-the-art developments and methodologies, as well as applications of wearable devices and perspectives examining the future of IoT based healthcare systems. The special issue will attract readers from different research areas, including novel algorithms and applications for healthcare infrastructures, big health data analysis, as well as devices and tools for health monitoring and rehabilitation.
