Special Issue on Localisation and Positioning for Healthcare Applications

Ref: CISTER-TR-170118       Publication Date: 2016

Abstract:
One of the essential functionalities for the smart health is localisation and positioning. Accurate indoor localisation and positioning have the potential to transform patient navigation systems. Over the past few years, a lot of localisation and positioning technologies have been proposed and experimented for various healthcare applications. Most localisation and positioning technologies could be classified into two categories: infrastructure-free, and infrastructure-based. On one hand, infrastructure-free technologies leverage existing WiFi signals and combine them with sensors without the deployment of additional hardware. On the other hand, infrastructure-based technologies require the deployment of additional hardware devices. This special issue invites research papers to promote research activities on localisation and positioning for healthcare applications. Eight papers are selected from a significant number of submissions.
