Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The integration of wearable sensors into telehealth platforms is transforming how clinicians monitor and assess human movement remotely. This approach increases accessibility for patients in remote or underserved areas and helps reduce the burden on busy hospitals. This Special Issue invites high-quality contributions on innovative sensor technologies, signal processing methods, and artificial intelligence (AI) applications that support telehealth monitoring.
We welcome studies exploring sensor fusion, edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT) in gait and balance assessment, instrumentation of score-based clinical tests, and machine learning or deep learning approaches for prediction and classification in free living. Papers may cover novel algorithms, system development, validation studies, or case studies demonstrating the feasibility and impact of wearable telehealth solutions. We also encourage work evaluating these technologies in real-world settings to present their potential to enable personalised care and continuous monitoring outside traditional clinical environments.

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.
