Summary
The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) is an amalgamation that represents the medical devices and software applications connected to a health care provider through networking technologies. With the power of collecting, transmitting and analyzing multi-modal health data, IoMT applications are playing increasing important roles for early detection and continuous monitoring of chronic illnesses. It can provide improved healthcare in terms of patient experience, diagnosis and treatments, disease management, management of pharmaceuticals, and so on. The IoMT is written as “transforming healthcare” technique, with the goal to make healthcare more convenient for patients and efficient for providers. With the continuing progress in information technologies, the applications of IoMT are expected to expand.
While offering enormous healthcare benefits, the IoMT is facing various kinds of challenges. On the one hand, continuous and real-time monitoring of physiological parameter is the basis task of IoMT, the energy restriction of the sensors prompts the requirement of lightweight signal acquisition and data compression method. On the other hand, how to extract medical/healthy knowledge from the collected physiological data is another challenge. The data analysis may be performed in the wearable device and also may be implemented in the remote data center of the hospital. Different kinds of applications require distinct data analysis approaches, for example, data mining technique directly from the compressed physiological signals without signal reconstruction attracts increasing attention in recent years. In addition, considering the privacy concerns, the collected data of IoMT should be acquired, transmitted and analyzed in a secure manner.
This special issue aims to collect advanced signal acquisition and processing techniques for IoMT.
