Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to focus on the development and application of advanced sensing technologies, innovative materials, and new algorithms for monitoring, assessing, and optimizing human activities and performance. With the growing interdisciplinary interest in wearable sensors, biosensing, assistive devices, and computational models, this Special Issue aims to provide a platform to explore recent advancements that address critical challenges in human evaluation and testing. Topics of interest include the integration of novel sensor technologies, digital twins, machine learning, and signal processing methods for enhanced data acquisition, interpretation, and application across domains such as sports science, rehabilitation, aging, and healthcare.
Our aim is to bridge disciplines, including biomechanics, structural engineering, and signal processing, to facilitate knowledge transfer and foster innovation in sensor-enabled systems. Contributions that showcase experimental studies, algorithmic developments, system design, and real-world applications are particularly welcome to be submitted to this Special Issue.
This Special Issue aligns with the scope of Sensors as we aim to emphasize advancements in physical, chemical, and biosensors, sensor networks, wearable devices, signal processing, and AI-enabled sensing technologies.

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. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
