CALL FOR PAPERS – IEEE Wireless Communications Magazine<\/strong><\/p>\n

Special Issue on Wireless Networking for e-Health Applications<\/strong>
\nThe confluence of electronics miniaturization, information proliferation in healthcare, and novel concepts for energy efficiency and energy scavenging, has pushed the application of Mobile Wireless Networks, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) and – perhaps more importantly so – Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) from the realm of theoretical exploration into healthcare reality. This advance heralds in a new era for patient monitoring, medical procedures, patient status awareness, outpatient treatment, and a plethora of other areas in modern healthcare. <\/p>\n

Developments in component miniaturization of electronics and sensing devices, advances in low-power wireless communication, and the arrival of energy harvesting have led to the development of ultra-low power wireless communication and sensing devices that are ideally suited for mobile healthcare applications. These devices can be installed in medical facilities and equipment, or worn directly on a patient’s body, allowing for real-time data acquisition, data fusion, reporting, and alerting from a plethora of sources. This allows for an unprecedented level of insight into a patient’s health, with a similarly high level of fidelity of the collected data that in many cases is sufficient to allow biometric identification of
\nan individual.
\nWith the advent of these new e-Health applications and their associated requirements and constraints, many vital topics of research need to be
\nexplored to provide robustness, security, responsiveness, and longevity of the wireless network and patient health information. This special issue
\nfocuses on the state-of-the-art in wireless networking for e-Health applications, associated technical and regulatory challenges, as well as
\nexploring deployments and implementations in real-world applications.<\/p>\n

The topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to:
\n– Applications of Wireless Networks in e-Health
\n– Real-World e-Health environments from design to operation – experiences, problems, and insights
\n– Cross-Layer Design for e-Health applications
\n– The PHY Layer of WSN, WBAN, and other e-Health Wireless Networks
\n– MAC and Routing in e-Health Wireless Networks
\n– Privacy, Security and Trust for e-Health applications
\n– Biometrics using WBANs and its applications
\n– Ensuring Energy Efficiency
\n– Energy Harvesting for low-power wireless networking in e-Health applications
\n– RF Interference and Coexistence
\n– Mobility in e-Health applications
\n– Modeling, Simulation, and Performance Evaluation for e-Health technologies
\n– Collaborative, Opportunistic, and Cognitive Wireless Technology in e-Health
\n– Trends, Future Applications and Research Challenges for Wireless Networks in e-Health
\n– Regulatory Challenges and Commercialization of e-Health solutions
\n– Data Collection, Data Storage, Data Sharing, and Cloud Services for e-Health
\n– Analysis of e-Health products for compliance, security, performance<\/p>\n
