Abstract :
The articles in this special section are focused on two major aspects of Internet of things (IoT) technologies for smart and connected health services (SCH): 1) monitoring and assisting individuals by means of smart systems including sensors, devices, and robotics; and 2) creating interoperable digital health information infrastructures to increase medical/health information availability and use. The papers published in this SI provide evidence that SCH tools that rely upon IoT technologiescould significantly improve clinical outcomes and thequality of life of individuals undergoing monitoring.
