Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in electronic materials and medical technology have opened up new possibilities in disease diagnosis, health monitoring, and therapeutic systems. The integration of flexible, stretchable, and biocompatible materials into electronic devices has enabled the development of next-generation wearable technologies that can interface with the human body directly. These innovations are reshaping the landscape of modern medicine, allowing for the continuous, non-invasive monitoring of physiological signals, real-time data analysis, and personalized health interventions.
With the deepening of the intersection between materials science, biomedical engineering, and electronic systems, there is an urgent need to explore novel material designs, scalable fabrication techniques, and device architectures tailored to biomedical and clinical applications. Such interdisciplinary efforts are essential to meet the demands of future healthcare systems and improve patient outcomes.
The aim of this Special Issue is to gather the latest developments in the field of electronic materials and medical technologies, particularly those related to fabrication strategies; wearable implementations; and the detection, monitoring, and treatment of diseases. The focus of this Special Issue is within the scope of Electronics, which focuses on cutting-edge research into electronics, sensors, materials, and their practical applications in real-world systems.
Original research articles and reviews are welcome in this Special Issue. Their research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Novel electronic materials for biomedical applications;
- Flexible and stretchable electronics for health monitoring;
- Wearable sensors and diagnostic devices;
- Biocompatible materials and biointerfaces;
- Micro/nano-fabrication techniques for medical devices;
- Smart drug delivery systems;
- In vivo and in vitro biomedical electronics;
- AI-assisted medical sensor systems;
- Energy harvesting for wearable medical electronics;
- Integration of electronic systems into clinical environments;
- Disease applications.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
