Human Health Engineering

Dear Colleagues, Thanks to the (r)evolution in sensors and sensing systems (wearable, wireless, micro-/nanoscale), computing power (ubiquitous computing) and algorithms (real-time modelling, neural computing, deep learning, etc.) a lot of (wearable) technology is being developed for monitoring health status of individuals in real-time. The wearable technology developed in the field of Human Health Engineering is not only aimed at patients but also at healthy people. Application areas include, but are not limited to, patient monitoring in hospital settings, (chronically ill) patient home monitoring, depression monitoring, stress monitoring at work, drowsiness monitoring of car drivers, monitoring of physical condition of athletes, activity monitoring of elderly people, etc. In this Special Issue, we invite submissions exploring the development of technology for monitoring the physical or mental status of individuals in a variety of applications. Contributions can focus on sensors, wearable hardware, algorithms, or integrated monitoring systems. Survey papers and reviews are also welcomed. Dr. Jean Marie Aerts Guest Editor
