Personal and Ubiquitous Computing Guest editors
P. Karrupusamy Shree Venkateshwara Hi-Tech Engineering College, India Hue Ming Wee Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU), Taiwan Yong Shi Kennesaw State University, USA Bhuvan Unhelkar University of South Florida, USA Multimedia and multimodal sensing are now ubiquitous. They open up opportunities for innovations in personal healthcare ranging from medical imaging, personal monitoring using wearable sensors to analysing personal media archives. Incorporating machine learning, pattern recognition and deep learning offers more opportunities to create personalized healthcare including novel disease prevention and early disease diagnosis.
This special issue explores new directions in multimedia and multimodal sensing for personalized healthcare by bringing together diverse research domains including multimedia, personalized healthcare, ubiquitous computing and human computer interaction.
