Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The convergence of advanced technologies in materials, engineering, biology and chemistry have paid the way for a new class of personalized healthcare devices with point-of-care diagnosis, and therapy—or theranostics. These evolving technologies enable continuous, non-invasive health assessment, in some case equipped with therapeutic interventions tailored to individual needs.
We are pleased to invite you contribute original research articles, and reviews papers on the future of wearable devices in healthcare and beyond.
This Special Issue aims to gather latest advances in flexible and wearable theranostic devices, incorporating design, biointerfaces, biochemistry, and data analytics.
By gathering state-of-the-art research, this issue aims to emphasize the potential of wearable theranostics in personalized medicine, and point-of-care diagnostics, paving the way for next-generation healthcare solutions beyond the current limitation realised in physical sensing.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but not limited to) the following:
- Flexible and wearable biosensors and bioelectronics,
- Real-time detection, and integrated therapeutic devices,
- Emerging materials, fabrication techniques for personalized biosensors and bioelectronics,
- Translational and clinical validation of biosensors and bioelectronics.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
