Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is titled and focuses on “Wearable Piezoelectric Sensors for Biomedical Applications”, highlighting cutting-edge advancements in self-powered, flexible, and highly sensitive sensing technologies. Piezoelectric sensors have revolutionized wearable healthcare by enabling real-time monitoring of physiological signals such as heart rate, respiration, muscle activity, and body motion. Their ability to convert mechanical energy into electrical signals makes them ideal for continuous health monitoring without the need for external power sources. This Special Issue explores recent developments in materials, fabrication techniques, signal processing, and system integration for wearable piezoelectric sensors. Topics include novel piezoelectric materials, flexible and biocompatible designs, energy-harvesting capabilities, and their applications in disease diagnosis, rehabilitation, and personalized medicine. By bringing together experts from academia and industry, this Special Issue aims to provide insights into current challenges, potential solutions, and future trends in wearable piezoelectric biomedical sensors, fostering interdisciplinary research and innovation in smart healthcare technologies.
We look forward to receiving your submissions!

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. Micromachines 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 2100 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.
