Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to explore innovative sensing technologies, methods, and approaches applied throughout the entire chain of human health and disease monitoring (including, but not limited to, physiological signal acquisition, pathological feature identification, disease risk warning, treatment response evaluation, and rehabilitation tracking). The core focus is on utilizing biomedical signals (such as electrophysiological, biochemical, mechanical, optical, acoustic, etc.) for non-invasive/minimally invasive, continuous, and dynamic monitoring, and exploring how advanced signal processing, data fusion, and artificial intelligence technologies can enhance the quality, interpretability, and ultimately the level of intelligent assistance in diagnosis of sensor data.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- New sensor design and materials: such as flexible/wearable/injectable/swallowable sensors, micro/nano sensors, biocompatible materials, multifunctional integrated sensors, etc.
- Innovative signal acquisition and enhancement methods: such as weak signal detection, anti-interference/noise reduction technology, multi-modal signal synchronous acquisition, non-contact sensing (like radar, optical), and novel biosensor detection, etc.
- Advanced signal processing and analysis algorithms：The application of artificial intelligence (deep learning, machine learning), big data analysis, feature extraction and selection, pattern recognition, and personalized modeling in the analysis of biomedical signals.
- Intelligent diagnosis and decision support：Such as disease early warning models based on sensor data, auxiliary diagnostic algorithms, treatment efficacy evaluation models, and personalized health management plan generation.
- System integration and clinical application validation: The development of wearable/portable/home monitoring systems, integration of sensors-edge computing-cloud platforms, solutions tailored for specific diseases (cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, metabolic, mental health, etc.), and their preclinical/clinical validation.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
