The Power of Biosignal and Bioimage Processing in Human Healthcare: Advances in the Analysis and Control of Physiological Systems

Dear Colleagues,

If you are unable to meet the current submission deadline, please consider our Volume II:

The Power of Biosignal and Bioimage Processing in Human Healthcare: Advances in the Analysis and Control of Physiological Systems (Volume II)

Biosignals are generated by mostly vital physiologic phenomena and provide valuable information regarding the status and function of a biological system. Being time or space–time records of biological events, biosignals as well as bioimages come from diversified sources (such as cardiovascular, muscular, respiratory, cerebral, etc.) and find a wide range of applications: from the identification of digital biomarkers and indicators of health outcome to the design of biosensors, wearable devices, and computational tools aimed at detecting, processing, and analyzing biomedical signals and images.

The growth in these research fields, together with the rapid development of new artificial intelligence techniques, have further boosted interest toward the study and use of biosignals and bioimages to give insights into the complex dynamics involved in the control of physiological systems in both healthy and diseased states.

In this regard, it becomes extremely important to develop robust methodological approaches and innovative algorithms and tools to enhance the clinical value of biosignals and biomages in order to take advantage of their full potential in health monitoring, enriching the information that can be extracted from them and used in the healthcare context.

We therefore invite you to submit original research papers and comprehensive reviews on advances in biosignal and bioimage processing, from acquisition to theoretical analysis, computational simulations, and clinical applications.

Topics of interest for this Special Issue include but are not limited to the following:

• New approaches for biosignal/bioimage processing and analysis;
• Methods for the classification of biosignals;
• Biosignal/bioimage feature extraction;
• Algorithms to improve the quality of biosignals;
• Artificial Intelligence tools for biosignal/bioimage analysis;
• Modeling and simulation of physiological signals;
• Biosensors and wearable devices for biosignal acquisition and measurements;
• Biomedical signal-based biomarkers.

Your contributions will help to improve and advance methodologies for biomedical signal and image processing with key implications in the fields of medicine 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.
