Mobile Computing For Digital Health: Challenges, Opportunities, and Approaches
The current needs for remote healthcare and daily health status monitoring, especially under the era of COVID-19, stimulate the researches on both digital health-related mechanisms and platforms like wearables and smart-home devices. On one hand, wearables and smart-home devices continuously acquire health data, infer physiological states and enable early invention remotely. Such technical studies develop and improve the platforms that mainly focus on rapid inter-subject adaptations with streaming data, data security issues and low-cost hardwares and algorithms for multi-modal monitoring and intervening methods, etc. On the other hand, artificial intelligence (AI), and in particular algorithms for machine learning, are on their way to becoming a key technology for digital health. This also gives rise to a new data-driven medical health management model. In addition to enabling various human-machine interactions, AI has also changed the clinician-patient and inter-patient interactions. Such interactions will pose new challenges to decision-making and may lead to unintended consequences of AI implementation and use. The abovementioned research opportunities can provide beneficial feedback and new application scenarios for residents' active healthcare.
The special issue brings together experts’ works on biomedical signal processing, data science, machine learning and digital health, in order to foster a fruitful and multi-disciplinary discussion.
