Guest Editorial of the Special Section on Advances in Neural Computing-Enabled Device Health Management for Consumer Technology

Consumer technology has undergone an evolution from simple manually operated devices to complex intelligent systems that integrate seamlessly into daily life. The rapid proliferation and integration of consumer technology in our daily lives has brought about the need for more elaborative development of health management systems to ensure device reliability, resilience, and longevity. Unexpected failures of consumer technology, including both hardware and software, can lead to significant inconvenience in daily lives and work, financial costs, health and safety risks for users, increased warranty and repair costs, brand reputation damage, and legal issues for manufacturers.
