Abstract
The papers in this special focus on enabling technologies for next generation telehealthcare applications. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for health and well-being is rapidly increasing in the majority of high-income countries. The interest about telehealthcare allows the provisioning of various kinds of health-related services and applications over the Internet. There are several benefits associated with tele-healthcare, including: the reduction of infection risk due to optimized patients access to clinical centers; optimized healthcare workflows; containment of hospital costs; increased patient safety; improves in the quality of life of both patients and their families. Common telehealthcare applications include tele-nursing, tele-rehabilitation, tele-dialog, tele-monitoring, tele-analysis, tele-pharmacy, tele-care, tele-psychiatry, tele-radiology, tele-pathology, teledermatology, tele-dentistry, tele-audiology, tele-ophthalmology, etc. In the past ten years, key enabling technologies (KETs) such as Internet of Things (IoT), tools for big data management and processing, Cloud/Edge/Fog computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Blockchain reached an advanced maturity, and therefore the potential for revolutionizing the whole tele-healthcare sector.
