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

          
Nowadays, all over the world, the number of
              ICT investments in health and well-being is rapidly
              increasing. In this context, there is a growing interest
              about telemedicine that allows the provisioning of various
              kinds of health-related services and applications over the
              Internet. The benefit of telemedicine is twofold: on the
              one hand it pushes down clinical costs, and on the other
              hand, it improves the quality of life of both patients and
              their families. Telemedicine solutions are typically aimed
              at tele-nursing, tele-rehabilitation, tele-dialog,
              tele-monitoring, tele-analysis, tele-pharmacy, tele-trauma
              care, tele-psychiatry, tele-radiology, tele-pathology,
              tele-dermatology, tele-dentistry, tele- audiology,
              tele-ophthalmology, etc. In recent years the rapid advent
              and evolution of emerging ICT technologies (such as
              Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud computing, Edge computing
              and so on) is revolutionizing telemedicine. This special
              issue focuses on emerging networked computer applications
              in all the fields of telemedicine. 

          
Topics of interest include
              (but are not limited to):

              telemedicine; - Computer-aided clinical diagnosis and
              therapy;

              - Networked applications for tele-health;

              - Medical signal and data processing; 

          
- Algorithms for decision support and therapy
              improvement;
