Sensors in Health Disease Detection Based on Speech Signals

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in modern sensors and signal processing techniques in medicine have improved the accuracy and reliability of medical diagnoses. Today, biomedical signal analysis, especially speech signals, is becoming one of biology and medicine's most crucial disease detection and interpretation methods.

Speech signals can be a valuable and objective tool supporting the diagnosis of many neurodegenerative diseases. The basic feasibility of speech-based disease detection or symptom severity prediction can already be demonstrated for a broad spectrum of medical conditions ranging from acute to chronic respiratory diseases.

New real-time methods are needed to improve the medical prognosis of diseases and shorten the time required for diagnosis. Speech can now be used as a digital biomarker for disease detection, which has advantages including easier diagnosis access, symptom monitoring, cost savings, and higher diagnostic precision.

This Special Issue aims to present a complete range of proven and new methods that play a leading role in improving biomedical diagnostics using speech signals. In this Special Issue, we want to build a bridge between different scientific disciplines and offer highly innovative researchers in various fields a platform to exchange research in this exciting and emerging field: Sensors in Health Disease Detection Based on Speech Signals.

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.
