Advances in Data Analysis for Wearable Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Wearable sensors have drawn a lot of attention from research community during the last decade. They are increasingly used thanks to their unobtrusiveness, light weight, low cost, and ease of use for all-day and any-place. These technologies emerge in a wide range of applications for human motion analysis, such as Ambient Assisted Living, gait analysis, home-based rehabilitation, sport activities, etc.

The development of wearable sensor systems to allow continuous and real-time monitoring requires robust, secure, and energy saving data transmission.

The analysis of data generated from wearable sensors presents challenges in signal processing to provide reliable and relevant outputs. Therefore, innovative and intelligent solutions are needed to fully exploit this data.

In this context, this Special Issue of Applied Sciences on “Advances in Data Transmission and Analysis for Wearable Sensors” aims to connect researchers in the field of wearable sensors, focusing on data transmission and processing, in order to share ideas and conceptual approaches and to discuss the recent advances in this field, addressing innovative solutions and emerging issues. Topics of discussion include, but are not limited to, the exploration of new approaches in the areas of data transmission, data processing and data fusion in wearable sensors.

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.
