Special Issue on Enabling Technologies for Next Generation Telehealthcare
------------------------------------------
Nowadays, all over the world, the number of Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) investments in health and well-being is rapidly
increasing. In this context, there is a growing interest about
telehealthcare that allows the provisioning of various kinds of
health-related services and applications over the Internet. The main
benefits of telehealthcare are: it reduces the risk of infection because
patients can make use of remote healthcare services directly in their homes
without the need to physically move in clinical centers; it can optimize
healthcare workflows; it pushes down clinical costs; it improves the
quality of life of both patients and their families. Telehealthcare
solutions are typically aimed at tele-nursing, tele-rehabilitation,
tele-dialog, tele-monitoring, tele-analysis, tele-pharmacy, tele-trauma
care, tele-psychiatry, tele-radiology, tele-pathology, tele-dermatology,
tele-dentistry, tele-audiology, tele-ophthalmology, etc. In recent years
the rapid advent and evolution of emerging ICT solutions (such as Internet
of Things (IoT), Cloud/Edge/Fog computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI),
Blockchain, etc.) are revolutionizing the whole telehealthcare sector.
This special issue aims to attract contributions from both academic and
industrial organizations focusing on the application of such an emerging
ICT for addressing Telehealthcare issues.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Emerging architectures and technologies for telehealth;
• Computer aided clinical diagnosis and therapy;
• Networked applications for telehealth;
• Medical signal and data processing;
• Algorithms for decision support and therapy improvement;
• Artificial Intelligence applications for telehealth;
• Advanced security techniques for telehealth.
