    IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering
    Special Issue on Advanced Sensing, Systems Modeling, and Ergonomics for Smart and Connected Health

    IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering, in collaboration with the IISE Transactions on Occupational Ergonomics and Human Factors, invites researchers, clinicians, scientists and engineers to submit their innovative research papers on topics related to smart and connected health. This special issue will bring together outstanding research in sensing, system modeling, ergonomics, information technology, statistics, data analytics, operations research, systems engineering, and social science to address problems such as: (1) developing new generations of health technologies, (2) identifying patient risks, (3) improving healthcare outcomes, (4) enabling better clinical processes, (5) optimizing clinical decision making, and (6) providing information to enhance patient safety and quality.

    Topics of interest include, but not limited to:
    Clinical decision modeling
    Machine learning with health-related data
    Multi-scale modeling
    Behavior and decision analysis
    Agent-based modeling
    Sensor-based modeling and analysis
    Healthcare and ergonomic improvement
    Care-delivery processes
    Medical decision making
    Protocol adherence
