Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is connected to the 14th IEEE International Conference on e-Health and Bioengineering (EHB 2026 http://www.ehbconference.ro/Home.aspx). We welcome extended versions of submissions from the conference and regular submissions within this field. Also, we expect improved versions of papers presented at the EHB 2025 conference.
The main objective of the EHB 2025 and 2026 conferences and of this Special Issue is to cover a broad spectrum of up-to-date topics of digital health and medical bioengineering/biomedical engineering by allowing scientists from diverse fields to participate in the presentation, discussion, and evaluation of the latest advances, research challenges, and opportunities in hardware/software technologies, medical devices/instrumentation, biosignal and image processing, biomaterials, biomechanics, biotechnologies, bioinformatics, micro- and nanotechnologies, systems biology, or virtual physiological humans. Nevertheless, we also welcome regular research or review articles on all aspects of digital health and bioengineering.
The topics include but are not limited to:
- Medical robotics and actuators;
- Medical imaging, image processing, and analysis;
- Biosignal processing;
- Telemedicine, e-health, and telecommunications;
- Wearable systems and sensors, m-health and p-health systems;
- Internet in healthcare and medical web portals;
- Cloud computing;
- Decision support systems and artificial intelligence in medicine;
- Internet and network applications;
- Wireless sensor networks;
- Laser technology and optical communication;
- Microelectronics;
- Healthcare in the space environment;
- Optoelectronics for health;
- Embedded systems;
- Biomechanics;
- Micro and nanotechnology for medicine;
- Medical physics and biophysics;
- Medical devices and equipment;
- Measurement and instrumentation in bioengineering;
- Biometrics, forensics, and security;
- Health technology assessment;
- Rehabilitative and assistive technologies;
- Electromagnetic compatibility;
- Instrumental analysis and laboratory technologies;
- Molecular bioengineering;
- Bioengineering in dental and oral health;
- Multimedia applications for medical and healthcare education and e-learning;
- Neurosciences;
Biomedical sciences communication and career development.

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-anonymized 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.
