Intelligent Systems for Smart Health Care: Leveraging Information for Better Well-Being

Abstract

Recently, intelligent systems have increased opportunities to leverage information for proactive and preventive health care. They also offer a way to incorporate patients into their health care as important players in disease management, thus reducing costs and improving diagnostics and treatment outcomes. By making measurements and analysis automatic, intelligent systems trigger new smart health care, leading to revolutionary human medical care together with progress in computer science, data science, and telecommunications. In this special section, interesting research articles on electroencephalogram (EEG), posture, heart rate, and biomechanics are presented to show how health care can be advanced with smart and intelligent technologies.
