Advances in Portable and Wearable Sensing Systems for Biochemical Monitoring—2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues, 

After the success of the first volume of the Special Issue entitled “Advances in Portable and Wearable Sensing Systems for Biochemical Monitoring”, the journal’s Editorial Board, in collaboration with the Guest Editor, Dr. Yanli Lu and Dr. Zetao Chen, is launching Volume II under the same title. This Special Issue continues to explore the exciting developments and applications of portable and wearable sensing systems and any other area of biological interest.

Portable and wearable sensing technologies have rapidly evolved as promising tools for interdisciplinary research, offering low-cost, user-friendly, and real-time biochemical monitoring solutions. These systems are increasingly applied in analyzing biomarkers from biofluids like sweat, saliva, urine, lacrimal fluid, and interstitial fluid, supporting applications from chronic disease management to personalized fitness tracking.

Significant progress in this field is driven by innovations in flexible electronics, biocompatible materials, miniaturized sensing platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI). The advancements in nanomaterials, hydrogels, and microfluidic technologies have enhanced the sensitivity, stability, and practicality of these devices or systems. Furthermore, the integration of wireless communication and energy-harvesting technologies enables continuous, real-time health monitoring. The emergence of AI and machine learning further optimizes data processing, improving predictive capabilities for personalized healthcare.

This Special Issue highlights the latest advances in portable and wearable biochemical sensors, covering novel biosensor designs, flexible and self-powered systems, and their applications in point-of-care testing and smart health monitoring. We welcome contributions that address current challenges, such as long-term stability, power efficiency, biointegration, and multimodal sensing chip, and explore future directions for next-generation sensing systems. Original research articles and review papers are welcome.

We look forward to receiving your outstanding research outcomes.

Dr. Zetao Chen
Guest Editor

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.
