Sensors for Non-intrusive Human Activity Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

There are an increasing number of sensors around us, allowing non-intrusive monitoring of relevant aspects of health, quality of life, and safety in the workplace. These sensors have the capacity to provide valuable information on the interaction of people with the environment and on the state of the person.

These sensors encompass biomechanical and physiological information that can allow us to estimate the effort, cognitive load, attentional state, and health status in real conditions.

Therefore, we aim to collect research works for the development of sensors to non-intrusively monitor human activities, as well as the algorithms for providing reliable and processing information, and for integrating data from different sources.

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

• Sensors for biomechanical assessment out of lab conditions;
• Sensors for reliable analysis of cognitive and emotional state;
• Sensors for monitoring human activities in different environments (workplace, healthcare facilities, home).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
