Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biosensors are transitioning from isolated laboratory tools into active partners in clinical decision-making, shifting medicine away from periodic hospital visits toward continuous, personalized health management. By converting complex physiological, biochemical, and neurological signals into clean, interpretable digital data, these technologies bridge the gap between biological systems and digital medicine.
This Special Issue, entitled "Progress in Biosensors for Biomedical Engineering Applications," highlights the recent interdisciplinary work driving these platforms forward. To keep the scope wide and inviting, we welcome submissions that address both physical sensor hardware and the intelligent computing systems that process their outputs.
On the hardware side, we welcome work on diverse transduction modalities, including optical, electrochemical, and acoustic systems as well as advancements in novel bioreceptors, flexible or stretchable substrates, biocompatible interfaces, and point-of-care microfluidic chips. Concurrently, to reflect the digital health transition, we encourage manuscripts exploring computational methods. This includes applying practical machine learning and deep learning models for biosignal processing, noise/artifact removal, and real-time monitoring. We also welcome work on multimodal sensor fusion, neuro-engineering interfaces (such as EEG and fNIRS), digital twins, and predictive analytics that turn raw data streams into robust clinical insights.
By bringing together materials science, device fabrication, and practical computing, this issue aims to outline the practical future of bio-integrated platforms. We invite academic, clinical, and industrial researchers to share their latest findings, particularly those addressing translation, scale-up, and real-world validation challenges.

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. 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.
