Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable and portable sensors are being increasingly utilized in cardiovascular care because they enable continuous, real-time, and patient personalized monitoring outside of traditional clinical settings. Advances in sensor technology, miniaturization, and signal processing have made it possible to acquire high-quality cardiovascular signals in daily life, supporting early diagnosis, risk stratification, and personalized management of cardiovascular diseases.
These technologies address the entire cardiovascular signal processing pipeline, including (i) physiological signal acquisition, (ii) preprocessing and artifact reduction, (iii) feature extraction and characterization, and (iv) clinical interpretation and decision support. Wearable and portable sensing systems allow for the integration of multimodal signals such as ECG, PPG, blood pressure, and heart sounds, facilitating a more comprehensive assessment of cardiovascular function.
This Special Issue aims to collect bridge solutions between engineering and medicine, encouraging contributions that translate technological and methodological advances into clinically meaningful tools. Of particular interest are interdisciplinary approaches that combine sensor design, signal processing, and data analytics with clinical knowledge, validation, and real-world applicability in cardiovascular practice. By enabling long-term monitoring and remote data collection, wearable sensors play a key role in preventive cardiology, telemedicine, rehabilitation, and chronic disease management; however, challenges related to signal reliability, validation, usability, data interpretation, and ethical aspects remain open and require further investigation.

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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
