Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play an important role in medical diagnosis and patient monitoring. New wireless sensors and medical devices continue to be developed to create safer health care environments. The rapid growth of using such devices and technologies in medical fields has created new opportunities and applications. However, enormous challenges still remain to be resolved in order to develop flexible, reliable, secure, and power-efficient networks suitable for medical needs. High-quality, original, unpublished contributions will be considered for the issue. Authors wishing to submit papers should send an electronic version (PDF or postscript file only) with a separate cover letter containing the paper title, authors with affiliations, and up to 200 words abstract, to one of the Guest Editors.
Topics include, but not limited to, the following:
• /Biomedical Sensors and Systems / • /Biotelemetry / • /Biosurveillance Systems and Applications / • /Body Sensor Networks / • /Clinical Biofeedback / • /Communications Protocols and Architectures / • /e-Health / • /Embedded Computing Systems / • /Medical Signal Acquisition, Analysis and Processing / • /MicroElectricoMechanical Systems (MEMS) / • /Mobile Applications / • /Modeling and Simulation / • /Performance Evaluation / • /Real-time Systems / • /Security and Privacy / • /Telemedicine / • /Weareable Sensors and Systems / • /Wireless Sensor Networks / //
