Journal of Sensors and Actuator Networks (JSAN) Special Issue "Sensor Networks and IoT in eHealth Applications" Website: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jsan/special_issues/eHealth_IoT Call for Papers: With recent advancements in wireless connected medical sensors and powerful embedded hardware, the Internet of Things (IoT) and related technologies have started to play a crucial role in smart health and healthcare applications. The number of globally connected medical devices is set to exceed 50 billion in the next decade, according to a recent report by IBM. IoT healthcare devices have already started to revolutionise healthcare by speeding up treatments, diagnostic processes and facilitating proactive prevention strategies, reducing physician visits, continuously monitoring and measuring physiological signals from the human body, injecting pharmaceutical compounds into the body, in addition to providing rehabilitation support to users. Yet, there remain significant research challenges regarding the efficient operation and applicability of these smart healthcare systems. While it is beneficial to have such IoT systems for healthcare applications that are simultaneously accurate, energy-efficient, low cost, safe, seamlessly operable, and scalable, there are tradeoffs between these design goals that can affect the complexity of the solution both in technology as well as in usability. Energy efficiency and low-cost goals become challenging to achieve as the complexity of the systems increases. Similarly, if reduced complexity is a design goal, then accuracy and safety goals become challenging to meet. This special issue aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry to present their latest notable research achievements and engineering experiences in developing and applying novel techniques for smart-health and IoT enabled healthcare systems. ===================== Due Dates Paper Submission: April 30, 2021 ===================== Topics: Interpretable and explainable Data Science and data analytics in e-Health Energy-efficient data compression and aggregation on the Internet of Medical Things Change and Anomaly detection for preventive and diagnostic health monitoring Causal Inference for smart healthcare systems Privacy, Security, and Safety Issues related to smart healthcare Cloud and Edge computing for IoT on e-Health Telemedicine and telerehabilitation Interoperability and standards for IoT on e-Health Ambient assisted-living IoT for active and healthy ageing ===================== Paper Submission: Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website.
