Biophysical Sensors for Biomedical/Health Monitoring Applications (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

Engineering control over material forms and structures provides tissue-compliant, flexible, and stretchable classes of biophysical sensors and microsystems that facilitate both fundamental biological research and biomedical diagnosis. Examples of recent advanced systems combine theoretical and experimental efforts in materials (e.g., metals, semiconductors, carbon, and liquid metals) and sensory transduction (e.g., piezoresistance, acoustic waves, optics, and capacitance) for monitoring diverse biophysical signals (e.g., strain, pressure, ultrasound, temperature, and vibration). The complete systems are well configured for a range of applications, such as human health monitoring, robotic prosthesis control, acoustic-based care systems, and measuring activities inside the body. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advanced biophysical sensors in such biocompatible configurations.

The scope of the Special Issue encompasses the following:

• Unconventional biophysical sensor geometry and configuration;
• Novel methodology and concepts for sensing biophysical signals (strain, pressure, ultrasound, temperature, etc.);
• Theoretical study of sensor mechanics;
• Biophysical sensors and systems for biomedical applications;
• Novel methodology to process monitored biophysical datasets.

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 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.
