Emerging Technologies for Point-of-Care Applications in Healthcare, Wellness and Sport Scenarios
This special issue belongs to the section "Bioelectronics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electronics are set to merge with our bodies to empower us, extending our perceptions, improving our health and wellness, and enhancing our mental, physical, and physiological performance. In this revolution, networks of smart devices woven into our clothing, worn on our skin, and implanted in our bodies are central and have received a strong attention from the scientific community in recent decades. Different foci have emerged such as the softness and stretchability of electronic and electrical components through the use of, for example, liquid alloys and their manufacturing scalability; the reliability and security of on-body and intra-body communication systems through the use of, for example, key anatomical and physiological characteristics of the human body; or, the perception and recognition of key information in physiological data and the automation of decision-making through the use of, for example, Artificial Intelligence in both distributed and centralized computing manners.
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances addressing emerging technological developments such as those with emphasis on point-of-care technologies (POCTs) for healthcare, wellness, sport, and exercise scenarios.

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-anonymized 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.
