Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable electronics have attracted significant research attention in recent years due to their transformative potential in fields such as digital medicine, human–machine interfaces, electronic skin (e-skin), and soft robotics. Their popularity stems from a human-centered design approach, offering non-invasive, easy-to-wear solutions on flexible platforms with minimal form factors. Additionally, wearable electronics play a critical role in the monitoring of various physiological signals and biomarkers in biological fluids, with applications in disease diagnosis, prosthetics, soft robotics, and beyond. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest breakthroughs, ongoing challenges, and emerging opportunities in wearable electronics. We invite contributions from leading experts, emerging investigators, and researchers working on wearable technologies, including physiological sensors and electrochemical biosensors. We welcome insightful perspectives, commentaries, reviews, and future outlooks on the subject. Submissions are encouraged to focus on innovative design strategies, novel sensing materials, advanced fabrication techniques, and their impactful applications. We will accept for publication full-length research articles and concise communications. By addressing key challenges and exploring forward-looking prospects, this Special Issue aims to inspire continued innovation and drive meaningful advancements in digital medicine, e-skin, prosthetics, and body sensor networks.
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.
