Communications Challenges in Health and Well-Being

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Improved living conditions and the availability of quality health care have increased life expectancy and the number and share of the aging population. According to the latest World Population Prospects, 16% of the population will be over the age of 65 by 2050, in contrast to the current 10%. This will be one of the sources of increased incidence of chronic disease and disability, but not the only one. The recent global pandemic of COVID-19 has revealed that existing healthcare systems can hardly cope with unpredictable events. The reality we live in requires the adoption of new approaches. This call is dedicated to intelligent architectures, processing, applications, and systems in healthcare that combine various wireless devices and tools ranging from deep learning to high-performance computing, with the goal of bringing benefits to all individuals.

This multidisciplinary topic covers but is not restricted to:

• Remote health monitoring (applications for both humans and animals);
• RF propagation in body area networks;
• Application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in health data processing;
• Improved imaging and 1D processing techniques;
• Technologies for public health and emergencies;
• Activity monitoring for diagnosis or rehabilitation;
• IoT/IoE in healthcare;
• Privacy and security in health data transmission or processing;
• Nano-networks;
• Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing;
• Information theory aspects of biomedical signals.
