Summary
Millions of people die from cancer, cardiovascular disease, Parkinson’s, asthma, obesity, diabetes and many more chronic or fatal diseases every year. The common problem with all current fatal diseases is that many people experience the symptoms and have disease diagnosed when it is too late Research has shown that most diseases can be prevented if they are detected in their early stages. Therefore, future health care systems should provide proactive wellness management and concentrate on early detection and prevention of diseases. One key solution to more affordable and proactive health care systems is through wearable or implantable sensors capable of early detection of abnormal conditions resulting in major improvements in the quality of life. In addition, the advances in the fields of smart materials, sensors, low power electronics and power harvesting, as with in information and communication technology has stimulated the application of these technologies in medical and healthcare domains. Sensors and Nano-sensors are speedily becoming technologies of choice across diverse areas. They offer effective and affordable options for detecting and measuring vital signs, chemical and physical properties on the human bodies and in difficult-to-reach biological and industrial systems operating at the nanoscale.
In this Special Issue, we seek original research papers or review papers about recent results in designing and evaluating protocols as well as techniques for Sensors and Nano-sensors technologies for Health-Care Applications. In particular, we look for contributions on body area sensors and nano-sensor networks.
