Healthcare technology has many collaborators and multidisciplinary teams working to enhance human quality of life. In the last decades, healthcare technology has been extensively investigated and the recent covid episode was a real challenge for many governments and healthcare centers worldwide. Innovations in artificial intelligence, biosignal/image processing, electronics, and information theory are used to improve the life and health condition of patients and more generally human been, researchers are increasingly proposing new monitoring or diagnostic systems based on new innovations to advanced signal or image processing. The scope of this special session includes but is not limited to the following topics:

• Remote health monitoring
• Real-time hand movement recognition
• Novel algorithm-based hybrid learning for bio-signal processing
• Sensors and systems for human activity recognition
• Wearable devices for healthcare
• Circuits and systems for body signals acquisition and processing
• Multimodal signal processing for increasing accuracy in clinical applications
• Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and deep learning approaches for medical applications
• Biomedical electronic design
• Biomedical signals processing and applications: ECG, EMG, EEG, PPG, sEMG
• Biomedical images processing and applications: RMI, fRMI, echography, elastography, Xray, CTI
• Non-invasive monitoring & diagnosing.
