Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in bioelectronics and wearable devices have significantly transformed healthcare, offering innovative solutions for monitoring, diagnosing, and treating various health conditions. Bioelectronic technologies, which integrate biology with electronics, enable precise interactions with biological systems at the molecular and cellular levels. One notable development is flexible, skin-like sensors that monitor vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, glucose levels, and even biomarkers for diseases like Parkinson's or Alzheimer’s. These devices leverage advanced materials, such as stretchable polymers and conductive hydrogels, to ensure comfort and durability for long-term wear. Wearable devices, powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, now analyze real-time data to detect anomalies and predict health risks, enabling early intervention. The integration of wireless communication technologies, including Bluetooth and 5G, facilitates seamless data sharing between patients and healthcare providers, improving telemedicine capabilities. Implantable bioelectronic devices, such as neural interfaces, are also advancing, offering hope for restoring motor function in paralyzed individuals or managing chronic pain through electrical stimulation. Furthermore, energy harvesting innovations, like sweat-powered or body-heat-based systems, enhance the sustainability of these devices. As bioelectronics and wearable healthcare technologies continue to evolve, they promise a future of personalized, non-invasive, and connected healthcare solutions, fundamentally reshaping patient care.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
