Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advancement of sensing technologies is transforming how we address diagnostic and environmental challenges. By continuously tracking physiological, ecological, and ambient parameters, these systems enable proactive diagnostics, mitigation, and performance optimization. Leveraging breakthroughs in micro/nanofabrication, flexible substrates, and multimodal sensing, modern platforms deliver exceptional sensitivity, reliability, and long-term stability under dynamic conditions. Advances span from bio-MEMS devices for in vivo diagnostics and fiber-based wearables for motion and biochemical tracking to contactless environmental sensors, showing how the field is expanding at an unprecedented pace.
This Special Issue explores implantable, wearable, and remote microsensors and systems engineered for the uninterrupted monitoring of physiological and environmental metrics. Topics of interest include low-power hardware architectures, biocompatible interfaces, and nonintrusive designs that support seamless, long-term deployment in healthcare and environmental settings. We invite the submission of original research articles presenting novel sensor concepts and designs, system-level integration approaches, and real-world use cases. Even minor innovations can pave the way toward next-generation systems for continuous health management and data-rich environmental analytics.
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. 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.
