Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ambulatory monitoring of physiological parameters, biomarkers, and/or pathogens is essential to achieve point-of-care, wearable, and home-health diagnostic devices. Nano/microsystems have enabled a new class of miniaturized health monitoring tools with high performance and unprecedented capabilities. For instance, micro-sensors and micro/nano-electronics are implemented on a wearable platform for the longitudinal, noninvasive monitoring of vital signs over extended periods of time, which can allow for the early diagnosis and timely treatment of progressive conditions, including cancer and cardiopulmonary diseases. In addition, nano/microfluidic and other lab-on-a-chip devices, which showed promise for detecting bacterial and viral pathogens, can be integrated in portable systems for testing the health status of individuals outside laboratories or in low-resource settings.
The Special Issue on “Nano/Microsystems for Health Monitoring” welcomes original research and development on nano/microelectromechanical systems (NEMS/MEMS), nano/micro sensors, wearable microsystems, nanomaterials, nano/microfluidics, epidermal systems, lab-on-a-chip devices for health monitoring, portable testing, and medical diagnosis. The preference will be placed on system level topics, while sub-system and device-level topics are also welcome.

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.
