Special Issue Information
This Special Issue seeks submissions detailing cutting edge research from academia, industry, and practitioners with an emphasis on original, novel, innovative, and impact-oriented research providing insights into “AI-Enabled Low-Power Implantable and Wearable Medical Devices”. This Special Issue seeks all types of manuscripts, including reviews, research articles, and communications). An area of particular interest to this Special Issue is research that considers intelligent machine learning-based front-end sensing that could be embedded into low-power implantable and wearable medical devices as well as AI-enabled medical devices that will promote user autonomy and independent living.
The submissions will undergo rigorous peer review, where each submitted paper will be reviewed by independent experts. We also recommend the submission of supplementary material with each paper, including test data and multimedia, as it significantly increases the visibility, downloads, and citations of articles.

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.
