Epidermal Electronics and Implantable Devices

Dear Colleagues,

Epidermal electronics and implantable devices are two typical categories of flexible electronics that can be conformable with human skin and organs, enabling the continuous monitoring of physiological signals. These devices show great potential in point-of-care testing, intelligent diagnosis, and human–machine interaction. In addition, the fusion of the flexible electronics, memory and processing unit into one device will drive the existing sensory systems from sensing to perception, which will contribute to a revolution in these areas. However, due to issues in the stability, integration, and multi-functionality of flexible devices, there are still great challenges in the realization of the long-term acquisition of the signals. The storage and processing functions are usually absent in most of the existing flexible sensory systems. Therefore, this Special Issue, “Epidermal Electronics and Implantable Devices”, focuses on the recent advances in flexible and stretchable electronics, the fabrication techniques of flexible devices, the integration of multi-model sensory systems, the application of the devices and systems in healthcare, flexible electronics in smart medical systems with AI, and in sensor computing for human–machine interface.

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. 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.
