[agents] [CFP] Smart Healthcare Services in Internet of Healthcare Things

[Chilean Scholar]

Dear Colleagues,

CALL FOR PAPER

A Special Issue "Smart Healthcare Services in Internet of Healthcare
Things" in the International Journal of Environmental Research and
Public Health (ISSN 1660-4601). This special issue belongs to the

Impact Factor: 2.849

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 December 2020.

Internet of Things are small autonomous apparatuses that incorporate
sensing abilities, computing power, and communication capabilities.
The recent advances in the embedded design of these autonomous
apparatuses make it clear that the near-future versions of theses
apparatuses will be widely available with low cost, and empowered with
advanced processing and wireless networking technologies, which in
turn will enable the Internet of Things to be commonly feasible for
various applications including public health and medical services. A
healthcare IoT network contains dimensional cooperative autonomous
sensors to track biological conditions or symptoms of patients, such
as euthermia, blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose, brain
activities, gesture or contaminants and to collaboratively transmit
their sensed data through a communication media to primary healthcare
service. The latest communication networks are bi-directional, which
also can facilitate the management of the sensing activity.

This recent phenomenon facilitates healthcare delivery using new
technology paradigms. Implementing the internet of healthcare things
has induced the existence of contemporary services in various
healthcare fields such as neurology, cardiology, endocrinology,
urology, and another life-critical emergency utility. Many preeminent
healthcare institutions are expanding their expenditure on innovative
smart healthcare services, and modern applications of the Internet of
healthcare things (Intelligent/Autonomous Healthcare Service). These
new healthcare services demand new models to acquire and handle
sensory data from the various Internet of healthcare things and
efficient strategies for accurate analysis and governance of such
data.

Hence the main interest of this special issue is to present the recent
research work of researchers and practitioners who are conducting
investigation on the field of smart and intelligent healthcare
services and strategy to present the current research problems,
issues, and advances in such a field. The aim of this special issue is
to offer insights for discussions related to the considerable research
challenges and comprehensive achievements on these topics of interest.

List of Topics:

Research papers related to practical and theoretical issues and
problems are invited.
