Calls for Papers (special): International Journal of Systems Biology and Biomedical Technologies (IJSBBT) Special Issue On: Internet of Things for Medical and Biomedical Applications*Submission Due Date* 7/30/2017

*Guest Editors* Tagelsir Mohamed Gasmelseid

*Introduction* The recent unprecedented advancements have significantly reshaped medical and biomedical processes and increased the need for developing innovative and interactive frameworks. In addition to their roles in improving data acquisition, processing and sharing, these technologies are making significant organizational and institutional shits. Particularly in the field of healthcare, the use of Internet of Things (IoTs) technologies has generated extensive opportunities for medical and biomedical activities. The exponential growth of wearable devices, interoperability of mobile applications and innovative IoT-based methodologies and frameworks continue to reshape, empower and transform healthcare activities and processes in a way that significantly affects the quality of services provided, safety of preventive care, medical sustainability and affordability of services. Within the context of medical and biomedical applications, the use of IoTs has moved some issues to the front line agenda of healthcare policy makers, mainly the development of appropriate architectures, mainstreaming of interoperable processes and using innovative information security frameworks.

*Objective* The goal of this special issue is to solicit original high-quality, original, significant and visionary papers from both the academia and industry that deal with the development of new and generalizable methodologies and technologies in relation with the use of internet of things (IoTs) systems in medical and biomedical domains. We invite papers describing examples of successful design, implementation and use of IoTs, electronic devices and integrated systems in health care applications, and papers addressing technical and operational challenges associated with the adoption of internet-of-things in medical and biomedical applications.

*Recommended Topics* Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following:

- The operational domain of IoT in medical and biomedical applications including the rationales for the use of IoT devices, cost reduction, energy consumption, improvement of medical and biomedical functionalities, integration abilities, cross-sharing of information by using cost effective, interactive, wearable, stationed and mobile biomedical devices, roles of IoT devices in reshaping the context of medical monitoring, data acquisition and sharing, remote monitoring and management of medical and biomedical functions. - IoT devices used in medical and biomedical systems including implantable electronics: integration of bio-interfaces, devices and sensors, Electronic devices, circuits and systems for non-invasive diagnosis, Radiofrequency devices, circuits and systems for e-medicine: data communications, diagnosis, monitoring. - Models and frameworks for the acquisition, processing and sharing medical and biomedical knowledge. - IoT architectures and frameworks IoT architectures and frameworks to be used for the extraction, processing and use of healthcare data to support decision making. - Security and privacy concerns of IoT in medical systems and biomedical applications. - Innovative multi-disciplinary approaches for the design, modeling, development and evaluation of innovative IoT healthcare system framework, architecture and applications. - Case-based Reasoning in Biomedicine and Biomedical Ontologies and Terminologies - Big Data Analytics, Clinical Decision Support Systems, Machine Learning, Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining. - AI methods in Telemedicine and e-Health, - Patient Engagement Support (Personal Health Record) and medical and biomedical Document Classification and Information - Bayesian Networks and Reasoning Under Uncertainty. - Biomedical Imaging and Signal Processing. - Temporal and Spatial Representation and Reasoning, Computerized Clinical Practice Guidelines and Protocols and Visual Analytics in Biomedicine - AI solutions for Ambient Assisted Living, Predictive Maintenance of Hospital Equipment and Tracking Healthcare Devices, Interoperability of Health Devices, Remote Monitoring, Security of Medical Records/Mobile Healthcare, Wearables, using data to improves patient care. - The Future of Healthcare, Predictive Maintenance of Hospital Equipment.
