Biomedical and Bioengineering Technology: Current Applications in Sports Monitoring and Health Care

Dear Colleagues,

Biomedical and bioengineering informatics is an evolving discipline that has grown along with advances in biomedicine, which applies the principles of biology, biochemistry, and biomechanics, to medicine and healthcare and even sports. The impressive biomedical information technologies emerging over the past few decades have greatly expanded our ability to non-invasively interrogate complex anatomical structures in fine detail, together with traditional scientific research, to uncover sports injury, guide management, and prognosis, especially in sports monitoring and healthcare. Moreover, with the rise of the widespread digitisation of health data, sports physicians also have a clear interest in biomedical information technology based on artificial intelligence and cloud computing, and other ways of presenting. Therefore, this Special Issue plans to give an overview of the most recent advances in the field of biomedical information technology and their applications in diverse areas and reach across medical disciplines to provide selected contributions on advances in the application of biomedical information in sports monitoring and healthcare.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Information technology solutions for healthcare;
• Imaging techniques for common sports-related injuries;
• Current approaches in bioinformatics for clinical application;
• Image-based musculoskeletal modelling;
• Health monitoring based on wearable technology;
• Diagnostic imaging in sports and healthcare.

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.
