Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable micro/nano biosensors and wearable biosensing technologies represent a transformative advancement in healthcare, enabling the real-time, non-invasive monitoring of physiological and environmental parameters. These devices integrate flexible electronics, nanomaterials, and wireless connectivity to provide continuous data collection, enhancing early disease detection, prognosis, health monitoring, fitness assessment, and environmental surveillance. These wearable micro/nano biosensors offer a powerful, user-friendly platform for precision medicine and environmental safety. Their ability to provide real-time, actionable insights supports proactive healthcare, reduces medical costs, and enhances quality of life. Future advancements in biocompatible materials, energy-efficient designs, and AI integration will further expand their applications, making them indispensable in modern healthcare and beyond.

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.
