J-BHI Special Issue on “Emerging IoT-driven Smart Health: from Cloud to Edge”

Introduction
Smart health is a real-time, intelligent, ubiquitous healthcare service based on Internet
of bioMedical Things (IoMT). With the rapid development of related technologies such
as deep learning, edge computing and IoT, smart health is playing vital role in
healthcare industry to increase the accuracy, reliability and productivity of mobile
sensory devices. To meet the computational requirements of deep learning, a common
approach is to leverage cloud computing. To use cloud resources, data must be moved
from the data source location on the network edge [e.g., from smartphones and IoT
sensors] to a centralized location in the cloud. This potential solution of transferring the
data from the source to the cloud brings about several challenges: latency, bandwidth
and privacy. A large amount of biomedical data is difficult to tolerate network latency
and needs to be processed in real time, which challenges the way of cloud computing.
Therefore, there are many studies that do not perform the computation and processing
of biomedical and health data in cloud center, but migrate tasks to edge end, through
edge computing to effectively improve the real-time service, to meet the high real-time
needs of smart health services.

However, the IoMT data analysis and managing still represent the main trend due to a
huge number of devices that connect to the server environments which generate a
significant biomedical data. Besides, many challenges remain in deploying deep
learning on the edge, not only on end devices but also on the edge servers and on a
combination of end devices, edge servers, and the cloud. Therefore, there is a necessity
for providing real-time, efficient and scalable intelligent algorithms that lead to
additional sophisticated solutions and that can make operative decisions in emerging
IoT-driven smart health.

This special issue focuses on smart sensors challenges in IoMT, and solutions that
leverage techniques and insights from the domains of artificial intelligence, edge
computing, and IoT. Specifically, it also solicits high quality contributions investigating
the usage of biometric signals in the context of IoMT for continuous monitoring for
patient-centric healthcare.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
⚫   Cloud, fog, and edge computing architecture for IoMT
⚫   Computation and sensor offloading for IoMT
⚫   Multimodal data collection, fusion, analysis, visualization of biomedical sensor
data
⚫   Deep learning-based processing and diagnostic analysis of biomedical sensor data
⚫   Transfer learning and multi-task learning
⚫   Intelligent interrogation systems based on smart wearable sensors
⚫   Adversarial training on biomedical sensor data
⚫   Visualization and understanding of machine learning in biomedical sensor data
⚫   Hardware or database architectures that can implicitly capture intricate structures
    of large-scale multi-modal biomedical sensor data
⚫   Improvising on the computation of biomedical processing models, exploiting
    parallel computation techniques, and GPU programming
⚫   Malware detection in IoMT using deep learning
⚫   Security, and privacy issues in biomedical sensor data
⚫   Knowledge discovery for biomedical sensor data
⚫   Patient-specific health-signals based identification and monitoring
⚫   Novel applications and case studies for IoMT based on group wearable sensors.
