Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible and wearable electronics are revolutionizing biomedical applications with their adaptability, lightweight design, and biocompatibility. These advancements enable the real-time health monitoring, personalized therapeutic interventions, and improved integration of electronics with the human body. Non-invasive wearable devices, such as ultra-thin sensors, have made significant progress in real-time physiological monitoring, offering comfort, precision, and long-term usability for applications like health management and chronic disease monitoring. Meanwhile, implantable flexible devices, including ultra-flexible neural probes, achieve high-fidelity neural recording and precise therapeutic delivery in dynamic physiological environments, advancing fields like neuroprosthetics, rehabilitation, and brain–computer interfaces, further advancing personalized medicine. Despite these achievements, challenges remain, such as ensuring mechanical durability, seamless wireless transmission, and long-term stability in biological systems. Addressing these issues requires interdisciplinary collaboration and innovative approaches.
This Special Issue invites research papers, communications, and review articles addressing advancements in flexible and wearable electronics for biomedical applications. Submissions focusing on material breakthroughs, device development, and translational research are encouraged to showcase the future of intelligent bioelectronics.
