The IEEE Xplore Innovation Spotlight features articles on cutting-edge topics handpicked from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library of more than 6 million technical documents.
In recent years, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been used in many vital areas, including weather forecasting, security, environmental monitoring, health care, and industry. However, efficiently administrating the enormous volumes of data generated by WSNs is a key concern.
Instrumented gait analysis plays a crucial role in clinical assessment and rehabilitation. Gait analysis can identify impairments, guide the development of effective rehabilitation programs, and inform strategies to improve overall function and quality of life. Specifically, instrumented approaches can better inform how individuals can walk with greater comfort and reduced pain.
Traffic monitoring sensors are crucial to intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Deployed at intersections, mid-blocks, and sidewalks—detecting the presence of road users, such as vehicles and pedestrians—the sensors are used for better signal timing.
Edge computing has emerged as a pivotal paradigm in the IoT and distributed computing era, bringing computation closer to data sources for improved latency and efficiency. However, the ubiquity of edge devices also exposes them to an increased risk of cyber threats, making cybersecurity a paramount concern.
