Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in biomedical sensors and wearable devices have significantly enhanced the ability to monitor and assess human physiological and behavioral states in real-time. However, raw biomedical signals are often affected by various noise sources, motion artifacts, and individual variability, making accurate and meaningful interpretation a challenge. This Special Issue focuses on innovative data processing techniques—including signal denoising, feature extraction, machine learning, and real-time analytics—that enhance the performance and reliability of biomedical devices. We welcome original research and review papers that contribute to the development of robust algorithms, efficient signal processing methods, and integrated systems for clinical and home healthcare applications.

Dr. Emi Yuda
Guest Editor

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.

The paper presents a hardware and software complex for monitoring the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) with electromyography (EMG) as the primary tool, observing the RLN’s response to stimulation during intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM). As a result of the analysis of available IONM tools using EMG, it was found that electromyography is an accurate and safe method for monitoring the bioelectric activity of the vocal cords. The article proposes a concept for monitoring the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) by observing changes in the bioelectric activity of the vocal cords during RLN stimulation. A hardware and software complex was developed in accordance with the concept. The article presents the architecture of the hardware and software of this complex. A detailed description of all hardware parts, their purpose, and their interaction is given. Features of the software and tools used in its development are described. The results of the approval of the complex during thyroid surgery at the VITASANA Medical Center in the city of Ternopil are given. The complex could successfully register and record the change in the biometric potential of the vocal cord at the moment of stimulation of the RLN. Full article
