Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Addressing our grand societal health-care challenges, regarding both human suffering and the ever-growing cost of health care, necessitates a paradigm shift from generic and reactive medicine to personalized, proactive, and preventive medicine. Implantable and wearable bioelectronics, which can leverage the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, play a critical role in accomplishing this mission. The development of novel bioelectronic devices for biomedical applications has been an emerging field and drawn great attention from the scientific community. This is due to their potential live-streaming capability for sending out physiologically relevant data from the brain and body at high frequency and large scale, which can potentially help patients and healthcare providers make better decisions and revolutionize our healthcare system by facilitating the disease diagnosis and treatment to disease prevention. At the heart, we need reliable biosensors for physiologically relevant data acquisition. Accordingly, this Special Issue seeks to showcase research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on novel methodological developments in micro/nano-biosensing interfaces for implantable and wearable applications (e.g., on novel biosensing mechanisms, micro/nanofabrication methods, biosensor miniaturization strategies, wearable/implantable devices, and integrated biosensing systems).
We look forward to receiving your submissions!
Dr. Bo Wang
Guest Editor
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.
