Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in wearable technologies are transforming modern healthcare, enabling continuous monitoring, personalized diagnostics, and real-time data analysis. However, one of the major challenges limiting long-term deployment of wearable devices is the need for sustainable and autonomous power sources. This Special Issue focuses on the emerging field of wearable sensors, flexible electronics and AI algorithms, highlighting innovations that integrate energy harvesting with sensing and intelligent system design. This Special Issue welcomes contributions spanning embedded systems (hardware and software), flexible circuit design, sensor development, signal processing techniques, Internet of Things (IoT) integration, point-of-care/wearable medical devices, and self-powered devices that utilize energy harvesting mechanisms such as triboelectric, piezoelectric, and thermoelectric nanogenerators to power sensors and wearable systems. Research addressing system-level integration, data acquisition, low-power processing, and real-world healthcare deployment is also highly encouraged. We warmly invite researchers, engineers, and practitioners from academia and industry to contribute their latest findings and innovations through research papers, short communications, and review articles. This Special Issue aims to provide a collaborative platform for advancing next-generation wearable technologies that support sustainable healthcare solutions. We look forward to your valuable contributions and hope that readers will find the published works inspiring and impactful for future research and development in this rapidly evolving field.

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-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.
