Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue calls for advances that make AI-driven digital biomarkers for health monitoring transparent, interpretable, trustworthy, and clinically actionable across the clinic–home continuum. We seek contributions that turn raw clinical data into interpretable evidence at every step, from data curation and harmonization to model development, explanation, and prospective evaluation in real workflows. Target applications include early detection and risk stratification, differential diagnosis, disease staging and progression modeling, patient-specific prognosis, and monitoring of treatment response. Modalities span structural and molecular imaging (MRI/PET), biosignals (EEG/ECG/EMG/GSR), speech and handwriting, gait and kinematics, ocular/retinal measures, and multimodal wearables/smartphones digital biomarkers, including passive sensing. Submissions should prioritize interpretable reasoning (concept-based, prototype, counterfactual, causal), calibrated uncertainty, fairness and bias assessment, robustness to domain shift, and reporting that enables reproducibility and external validation. We particularly welcome multi-site studies, federated or privacy-preserving learning, human-in-the-loop AI-methodologies, and real-world deployments that demonstrate clinical utility. Reviews, benchmarks, negative/neutral results with rigorous error analysis, and open datasets/tools that accelerate translation are also encouraged.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
