Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
After the successful publication of the first edition of the Special Issue "Latest Wearable Biosensors", we are pleased to announce the exciting second edition! Facing a rapidly aging global population, the future of healthcare will need to become heavily personalized to reduce its enormous associated costs and become “smart”. With this, clinicians need to have certain continuously monitored biomarkers for evaluating patients’ health conditions individually. The topic of wearable sensors has attracted much more attention recently; with the rapid development of several key advanced technologies, wearable biosensors are now able to provide practical real-time monitoring of patients’ health and well-being. Wearable biosensors can be used to track vital signs, steps, sleep, stress, hydration, oxygen content and glucose levels in the blood, amongst other measures. Furthermore, they can be easily connected wirelessly to cellphone applications, making them user friendly, inexpensive, and ubiquitous. Research and development on smart wearable biosensors for personalized e-Health services has been conducted around the world. On this note, the rapid worldwide development and public embrace of wearable biosensors (e.g., Fitbit™ and various smart watches) supports the need for another dedicated Special Issue in this area. These wearable systems for health monitoring may feature different types of miniature biosensors (say, printable and wearable patches) capable of measuring different physiological parameters: vital signs (heart rate, respiration rate, body and skin temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.), skin conductance, blood pressure, electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements, electroencephalography (EEG) measurements, acceleration, and rotation. Furthermore, one can also use the measured data to predict/assess mood changes, cardio health, fitness conditions, posture, cognition state, sleep quality, fall detection, seizure prediction, and for various other monitoring purposes to improve subjects' quality of life, health management, disease control status, and even survival rates from emergency rescue operators. With the latest breakthroughs in AI (artificial intelligence), one can expect the mass production of long-lasting, accurate, robust and smart wearable biosensors with a high sensitivity and selectivity. These may hold the key to replacing many traditional diagnostic medical devices to enable timely personalized e-Health treatment and intervention, thus reducing healthcare costs and delivering a higher quality of life and well-being for patients.

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. Biosensors 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.
