This special issue belongs to the section "Health Care Sciences & Services". <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/Smart_Healthcare_Services" target="_blank">https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/Smart_Healthcare_Services</a><br><h3 style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:20px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;line-height:1.5;font-size:14px;max-height:1e +06px">Impact Factor: 2.468</h3>Deadline for manuscript submissions: <b>31 December 2020</b>.<br><div><br></div><div><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px">Internet of Things are small autonomous apparatuses that incorporate sensing abilities, computing power, and communication capabilities. The recent advances in the embedded design of these autonomous apparatuses make it clear that the near-future versions of theses apparatuses will be widely available with low cost, and empowered with advanced processing and wireless networking technologies, which in turn will enable the Internet of Things to be commonly feasible for various applications including public health and medical services. A healthcare IoT network contains dimensional cooperative autonomous sensors to track biological conditions or symptoms of patients, such as euthermia, blood pressure, heart rate, blood glucose, brain activities, gesture or contaminants and to collaboratively transmit their sensed data through a communication media to primary healthcare service. The latest communication networks are bi-directional, which also can facilitate the management of the sensing activity.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px">This recent phenomenon facilitates healthcare delivery using new technology paradigms. Implementing the internet of healthcare things has induced the existence of contemporary services in various healthcare fields such as neurology, cardiology, endocrinology, urology, and another life-critical emergency utility. Many preeminent healthcare institutions are expanding their expenditure on innovative smart healthcare services, and modern applications of the Internet of healthcare things (Intelligent/Autonomous Healthcare Service). These new healthcare services demand new models to acquire and handle sensory data from the various Internet of healthcare things and efficient strategies for accurate analysis and governance of such data.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px">Hence the main interest for this special issue is to present the recent research work of researchers and practitioners who are conducting investigation on the field of smart and intelligent healthcare services and strategy to present the current research problems, issues, and advances in such a field. The aim of this special issue is to offer insights for discussions related to the considerable research challenges and comprehensive achievements on these topics of interest.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px">List of Topics:</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px">Research papers related to practical and theoretical issues and problems are invited.</p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px">The List of Topics may include (but are not limited to):</p><ul style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:10px 0px 1.25rem 1.1rem;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:inherit;list-style-position:outside;max-height:1e +06px"><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Situation/Context-Aware Technology and Service in the internet of healthcare things.</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Situation Information Filtering and Aggregation in the internet of healthcare things.</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Integration of Bandwidth Mediation Points and internet of healthcare things.</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Design, Development and Implementation of smart healthcare services in the Internet of healthcare things.</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Privacy, Security, and Social Issues related to smart healthcare services in the Internet of healthcare things.</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Trust and Value Creation through New Generation smart healthcare services in the Internet of healthcare things</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Green healthcare Service of/by the internet of healthcare things</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Smart healthcare Readiness (Technology, Service) in the internet of healthcare things</li><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;max-height:1e +06px">Case Studies and Experience Reports of smart healthcare services in the Internet of healthcare things</li></ul><div><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;font-weight:700;line-height:inherit;max-height:1e +06px">Manuscript Submission Information</span></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px"></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 10px;padding:0px;font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;line-height:1.6;max-height:1e +06px">Manuscripts should be submitted online at <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgba(28,88,23,0.75);line-height:inherit;text-decoration-line:none;max-height:1e +06px;font-weight:700" target="_blank">www.mdpi.com</a> by <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/user/register/" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgba(28,88,23,0.75);line-height:inherit;text-decoration-line:none;max-height:1e +06px;font-weight:700" target="_blank">registering</a> and <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/user/login/" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgba(28,88,23,0.75);line-height:inherit;text-decoration-line:none;max-height:1e +06px;font-weight:700" target="_blank">logging in to this website</a>.
