Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will focus on emerging sensing technologies for health care as well as new applications for existing sensors, and the analysis of the sensor signal response. Radio frequency sensing technologies, magnetic induction phase shift technology, RF resonators, wearable antenna design, PPG, and bioelectromagnetic research provide non-ionizing, non-invasive diagnostics with unique advantages. They are able to detect biofluid shifts related to physiological parameters in the cranial cavity, in the heart, and other locations of the body, which are not detectable by traditional wearables and can only be detected with large specialized equipment found in the hospital setting. Additionally, new methods for analyzing information-rich signals and waveforms of wearable sensors using artificial intelligence and machine learning provide strong potential to elevate the biomedical arena. New applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning to extract unique signals from the waveforms of human physiology and its interactions with electromagnetic energy hold promise to be able to detect signals which were previously undetectable due to limitations in current sensing technologies. Wearable sensors have strong potential to meet many unmet clinical needs and gaps in the biomedical arena, in low-resource environments and in point-of-care settings.

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.
