Description & Coverage
Description:

The use of technology in health sciences has a direct impact on health outcomes, as well as on the quality and the safety of healthcare processes. In addition, the use of new technological developments in medical education has proven to be greatly effective and creates realistic learning environments to experience procedures and devices that will become common in medical practice. However, bringing new technologies into the health sector is a complex task, which is why a comprehensive vision of the health sciences ecosystem (encompassing many different areas of research) is vital.

Technological Adoption and Trends in Health Sciences Teaching, Learning, and Practice obtains an overview of the technological trends within the health sciences ecosystem, identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the research presented to date, and depicts possible future research directions within health science education and practice. Covering topics such as artificial intelligence and online laboratories, it is ideal for health sciences educators and practitioners, technological solution providers, health organizations, health and care workers, regulators, governing bodies, researchers, academicians, and students.

Editor/Author Biographies

Samuel Marcos-Pablos received a Telecommunication Engineer's Degree in 2006, a M.Eng in robotics in 2009, and a Ph.D. in robotics in 2011 from the University of Valladolid (Spain). He has worked as a researcher at CARTIF's Robotics and Computer Vision Division from 2007 to 2017, where he has combined theoretical and field work. In 2018 he enrolled the Research GRoup in InterAction and eLearning at the University of Salamanca, where he focused his efforts in the development of technological ecosystems for the health sector. He is currently an assistant professor at the University of Salamanca. He has been part of the Medical and Healthcare Robotics group of the Spanish Robotics Technology Platform (Hisparob) as well as the technical contact in Cartif for the European Robotics platforms euRobotics (the European Robotics Technology Platform) AISBL and SPARC (the Partnership for Robotics in Europe). He has focused his research efforts on multimodal human-machine interaction. Particularly, in the province of social assistance robotics in the socio-health field, through the development of multimodal interaction interfaces and software architectures.
