About this book series

Health Engineering is a new book series that reports the latest research and development in the fields of health informatics and biomedical engineering where engineering and information technologies intersect with biology, medicine, life sciences, and health sciences. The book series is committed to publishing the state-of-the-art research and most recent developments in the full range of topics in Health Engineering on the basis of its scientific excellence, influence and importance.  The specific topics of health engineering cover but not limited to the acquisition, transmission, processing, storage and retrieval of information for human health and prevention of diseases; wearable, flexible and implantable systems; body sensor/area networks (BSN /BAN); BioMEMS, POCT, Biochips, Medical IC, and biomedical sensing; internet of things (IoT) for health, cloudy computing and mobile computing for healthcare, electronic health records (EHR), interoperability and connectivity, picture archive and communication systems (PACS) from hospitals to homes, and health information security and privacy; cerebro-cardiovascular Health Engineering, technologies in the practice of preventive medicine, discovery of new therapies, and drug delivery technologies; public health, telemedicine, tele-healthcare, m-health, e-health, u-health, and p-Health; biologically inspired engineering, virtual reality in biomedicine and surgery, bio-inspired robotics and biomimics, brain-computer interfacing, and human–computer interfacing; biomedical imaging informatics, real-time imaging, multimodal imaging, molecular imaging, image and video data compression, and visualization of bio-medical and health data; and others including neural engineering, bioinformatics, multi-scale and high demential biomedical modeling,  bio-health big data mining, biomarker detection methods, assistive technologies, neural systems, and rehabilitation technologies.

 

The aim of this book series on Health Engineering is to provide a platform for sharing the knowledge and developments in the early detection, predication, diagnosis, monitoring, intervention and treatment of diseases and promoting the convergence and transformation of current reactive medicine to proactive health that is predictive, preventive, precise, personalized, pervasive, participatory, preemptive, patient-centered, i.e. the new paradigm of the 8-Ps Health.
