Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The most significant examples of highly efficient control systems (ACS) are electromechanical systems. Modern advances in various fields make them very accurate and fast. To do this, all of their elements must have special qualities, to which a lot of research has been devoted. However, general digitalization "involves" more and more structures in the field of ACS that were not initially adapted to work in ACS and cannot be used for such a purpose. The most important "link" of such an ACS is increasingly becoming humans. A person interacts with technical structures in various simulators, exoskeletons, and technological complexes. Complex medical diagnostic and therapeutic complexes (for example, insulin pumps) should also be referred to as such systems. In all these examples, the human state is identified to be much worse than the state of the technical structures interacting with it. One of the reasons for this is the nonlinearity and nonstationarity of a person as an object of cybernetic analysis. Other reasons for this have undergone insufficient research in this area.
I propose to prepare a Special Issue of the journal Sensors, dedicated to the study of biocybernetic complexes, which should include a person interacting with technical structures to perform a variety of tasks—from tasks that solve human problems—in medicine, physiology, sports, etc., to technical and political ones, in which humans solve the problems of managing complex technical and social structures. Humans are used to endowing the world of things with human qualities. Therefore, the need has come to identify a person as a biocybernetic structure.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Problems of digitalization of society and people.
- Systems for continuous recording of ECG, heart rate, and identification of the functional state of a person.
- Exoskeletons, simulators, and insulin pumps as biocybernetic structures.
- Modeling the main systems of human life, such as the cardiovascular system, central nervous system, respiratory system, etc.
- Digital identification of a healthy person.
- Digital identification of a person's condition with cardiovascular diseases.
- Digital identification of the state of the pregnant woman and the fetus at all stages of pregnancy.
- Digital identification of a person interacting with technical, industrial, and political structures.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
