As the world population ages and the care ratio (ratio of healthy young citizens to elderly citizens) is in decline, monitoring and care of individuals with continuous recording of medical information in electronic form remotely or during in-site medical visits is becoming more and more incorporated in daily life. Multimodal technologies are constantly being developed to assist people in their daily life, with a vast range of wearable sensors now available for monitoring health parameters (e.g. blood pressure, sweat, body temperature, heart rate etc.), lifestyle (e.g. monitoring utility use, levels of activity, sleep quantity and quality etc.), a person’s ability to carry out activities of daily living. At the same time, health professionals have integrated new technologies into their workflow, for example by using various types of medical imagery to facilitate and support their clinical practice and diagnosis, and also by examining data from sensors and home medical devices, which allow them to remotely care for their patients. Health records and databases are now enriched with digital multimodal data on the patients, for which new methods need to be developed for accurate and fast access and retrieval.
