MISSION: 

      
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      
Nowadays,
        Internet of Things (IoT) is changing eHealth and especially
        mobile Health (m-Health) systems. Currently, more and more fixed
        and mobile medical devices installed in patients\'92 personal
        body networks, medical devices and in surrounding clinical/home
        environments collect and send a huge amount of heterogeneous
        health data to healthcare information systems for their
        analysis. In this context machine learning and data mining
        techniques are becoming more and more important in many
        real-life problems. An important number of these techniques are
        dedicated to health data processing and analysis on mobile
        devices. Several mobile applications based on these techniques
        have emerged as an essential technology for improving the
        quality of medical diagnosis and treatments of many illnesses as
        well as many health disorders. 

      
Existing
        techniques used for processing health data can be broadly
        classified into two categories: (a) Non-Artificial Intelligence
        (AI) systems & (b) Artificial Intelligence systems. Even
        though non-AI techniques are less complex in nature, most of the
        systems suffer from the drawbacks of inaccuracy and lack of
        convergence. Hence, these systems are generally replaced by AI
        based systems which are much superior to the conventional
        systems. AI techniques are mostly hybrid in nature and include
        Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Fuzzy theory, Evolutionary
        algorithms, etc. Though most of the techniques are theoretically
        sound, the potential of these techniques is not fully explored
        for practical applications. Many of the computational
        applications still depend on Non-AI systems, which limit their
        practical usage. 

      

      

      
This
        special issue especially focuses on the feasibility of machine
        learning and data mining techniques on practical mobile health
        applications. These practical mobile applications include for
        instance biomedical, medical images processing, health
        management, etc. This special issue serves for discovering the
        untold advantages of data science techniques for practical
        mobile health applications, and also brings out solutions for
        many real-life problems through advanced theoretical and
        experimental approaches.
