(Bio)sensors for Physiological Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

(Bio)sensing is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field that integrates engineering, chemistry, biology, physics, medicine, and computational data analytics to develop advanced sensors for monitoring various physiological conditions. These sensors often provide continuous, real-time, and nonintrusive monitoring capabilities, significantly enhancing our understanding and management of human health and performance.

Monitoring human physiological signals plays a crucial role in guiding health management and exercise training. These signals can be categorized into physical signals, such as blood pressure and temperature, and chemical signals, which detect bioanalytes in saliva, blood, tears, and sweat. Traditionally, the term biosensor implies the incorporation of a biological component to recognize and detect analytes. At present, we use the term (bio)sensor to more generally describe all sensors aimed at monitoring and detecting human physiological signals, regardless of the origin of the recognition component.

This Special Issue aims to provide a platform for researchers from diverse scientific disciplines to exchange cutting-edge research in the field of (bio)sensors for physiological monitoring. We welcome authors to contribute reviews and original research articles that will illustrate the latest advancements and stimulate ongoing research in this exciting and emerging field. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, this Special Issue seeks to drive innovation and improve the capabilities of (bio)sensors in enhancing personalized healthcare and human performance monitoring.

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 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-anonymized 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.
