Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Aim and scope: Recent advances in artificial intelligence, combined with mobile and wearable technologies, are transforming cardiovascular medicine by enabling continuous, real-time monitoring and early detection of arrhythmias, heart failure decompensation, and other life-threatening cardiac events. These innovations offer the potential to improve patient outcomes, support remote management, and enable personalized treatment—particularly in preventing sudden cardiac death, the leading cause of mortality in industrialized nations.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the latest research and developments in mobile and wearable solutions for cardiovascular monitoring and disease management. We invite original research articles, reviews, and case reports addressing sensor design, biosignal acquisition, AI-driven diagnostics, clinical validation, and integration into telemedicine and remote care platforms.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: smartwatch-, patch-, implantable-, or smartphone-based monitoring; detection and prediction of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias; applications of ECG, photoplethysmography (PPG), and novel biosignals; machine learning algorithms in cardiac diagnostics; and data privacy, security, and regulatory challenges in digital health.
This Special Issue encourages interdisciplinary contributions from clinicians, biomedical engineers, data scientists, and healthcare innovators, with a focus on translating technological advancements into meaningful clinical applications.

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.
