Abstract

This special issue focuses on the application of eXtended Reality (XR) technologies—comprising Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the fields of medicine and rehabilitation. AR provides support in minimally invasive surgery, where it visualises internal anatomical structures on the patient’s body and provides real-time feedback to improve accuracy, keep the surgeon’s attention and reduce the risk of errors. Furthermore, XR technologies can be used to develop applications for pre-operative planning or for training surgeons through serious games. AI finds applications both in medical image processing, for the recognition of anatomical structures and the reconstruction of 3D models, and in the analysis of biological data for patient monitoring and disease diagnosis. In rehabilitation, XR and AI can enable personalised therapy plans, increase patient engagement through immersive environments and provide real-time feedback to improve recovery outcomes. The papers in this special issue deal with rehabilitation through serious games, AI-enhanced XR applications for healthcare, digital twins and the analysis of bio/neuro-adaptive signals.

本特刊重点关注扩展现实（XR）技术（包括虚拟现实（VR）、增强现实（AR）和混合现实（MR））以及人工智能（AI）在医疗和康复领域的应用。增强现实技术为微创手术提供支持，它可以将病人身体内部的解剖结构可视化，并提供实时反馈，以提高准确性，保持外科医生的注意力，降低出错风险。此外，XR 技术还可用于开发术前规划应用程序，或通过严肃游戏培训外科医生。人工智能既可应用于医学图像处理，用于识别解剖结构和重建三维模型，也可应用于生物数据分析，用于病人监测和疾病诊断。在康复领域，XR 和人工智能可实现个性化治疗计划，通过身临其境的环境提高患者的参与度，并提供实时反馈以改善康复效果。本特刊的论文涉及通过严肃游戏进行康复、医疗保健领域的人工智能增强型 XR 应用、数字双胞胎以及生物/神经适应信号分析。

期刊介绍： The interdisciplinary interfaces of Information Systems (IS) are fast emerging as defining areas of research and development in IS. These developments are largely due to the transformation of Information Technology (IT) towards networked worlds and its effects on global communications and economies. While these developments are shaping the way information is used in all forms of human enterprise, they are also setting the tone and pace of information systems of the future. The major advances in IT such as client/server systems, the Internet and the desktop/multimedia computing revolution, for example, have led to numerous important vistas of research and development with considerable practical impact and academic significance. While the industry seeks to develop high performance IS/IT solutions to a variety of contemporary information support needs, academia looks to extend the reach of IS technology into new application domains. Information Systems Frontiers (ISF) aims to provide a common forum of dissemination of frontline industrial developments of substantial academic value and pioneering academic research of significant practical impact.
