Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The continuous monitoring of physiological signals is revolutionizing healthcare by enabling the timely diagnosis, personalized treatment, and proactive management of chronic conditions. Sensors designed for physiological monitoring—whether wearable, implantable, or ambient—are capable of capturing vital parameters such as heart rate, respiration, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, and neural activity. These technologies support real-time, noninvasive, and long-term health tracking in both clinical and non-clinical settings.
Driven by advances in materials science, microelectronics, wireless communication, and data analytics, sensor systems are becoming increasingly compact and efficient and are being integrated more with digital health platforms. Emerging solutions tend to involve incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning to interpret complex physiological data, facilitating predictive health insights and decision support.
This Special Issue aims to compile cutting-edge research and innovative developments in the field of physiological monitoring sensors. We welcome original articles and reviews addressing sensor design, signal acquisition and processing, integration with wearable or mobile platforms, data analytics, and applications in healthcare, sports science, and remote patient monitoring.
By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration across the fields of engineering, computer science, biomedicine, and healthcare, this Special Issue seeks to highlight the critical role of sensor technologies in shaping the future of personalized and preventive medicine.

Manuscript Submission Information
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. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short 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 thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
