This new volume features new and innovative research on the positive contributions of IoT and cloud technology in healthcare information systems for the improvement of patient care and disease management, highlighting the challenges and difficulties along with solutions and strategies. The authors focus on theories, systems, methods, algorithms, and applications and showcase the interface between e-health and communication technologies and their beneficial contribution to building efficient and secure healthcare information systems.
