Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, there has developed a considerable research interest in biomechanical and biomedical sensors and their inherent information processing techniques. This has led to many innovative applications in biomedicine and biomedical engineering. Such developments have also created exciting opportunities for solving a variety of complex problems in healthcare. The aim of this special issue is to present recent research findings on developments in the application of sensor- technologies to healthcare and human performance. In particular, the special issue will report on various sensor applications for measuring either the whole body or individual limbs. Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts for publication on the following (but not limited to) areas:

• Biosensors, sensor design, sensor fusion for improved diagnosis
• Biomechanical sensors for health, human performance and biometrics
• Smart sensors
• Sensor signals and associated signal processing

Application areas (but not limited to):

• Disease diagnosis e.g. Cardiovascular, neurological, musculoskeletal, gait, sleep apnea
• Ageing healthcare e.g. Falls and injury prevention, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia
• Patient tracking and monitoring
• Movement analysis and sports performance
• Human computer interface

Submission

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).
