Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Microfluidics is rapidly emerging as a powerful tool in biosensing and diagnostics due to its ability to manipulate small volumes of fluids with high precision. Microfluidic devices equipped with sensors provide a platform to track physiological signals such as heart rate, blood glucose levels, temperature, oxygen saturation, and so on. In particular, biosensors incorporated into in vivo models can be used for the accurate and reliable predictions of biological responses to various stimuli, including drugs and toxins. Moreover, advanced data analysis techniques and AI-based decision-making algorithms play an essential role in interpreting biosensor data. By leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence, these technologies can analyze vast amounts of data, recognize patterns, and make predictive recommendations. This improves the efficiency and reliability of diagnostics, allowing for earlier detection and more effective treatments.
Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles focusing on all aspects of point-of-care models, in vitro sensors, biomedical device fabrication, and diagnostic applications, including the incorporation of data analysis and AI-based decision-making in biosensor technologies.

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.
