Flexible Electronics and Wearables for Biomedical, Health and Sport Monitoring

Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The integration of flexible electronics and wearable technologies is revolutionizing the way biomedical, health, and sport parameters are monitored. Advances in smart materials, flexible electronics, embedded sensors, and wireless communication enable continuous, unobtrusive, and personalized data acquisition in real-world environments. These innovations open new opportunities for preventive healthcare, rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and performance optimization in sport and physical activity.

This Special Issue invites high-quality contributions addressing the design, development, and application of intelligent textiles and wearable systems.

We encourage original research articles, reviews, and case studies that demonstrate novel approaches and impactful applications.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Smart textiles, e-textiles, and flexible sensors for physiological and biomechanical monitoring.
  • Wearable systems for healthcare, rehabilitation, and sport performance.
  • Data fusion, machine learning, and artificial intelligence for multimodal sensor data analysis.
  • User-centered design, ergonomics, and human–device interaction.
  • Energy efficiency, wireless power transfer, and communication protocols.
  • Data security, privacy, and ethical considerations in health and sport monitoring.
  • Case studies, pilot implementations, and clinical or sport validation.

Dr. Raúl Fernández-García
Guest Editor

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.
