Biomedical Sensing for Human Motion Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in sensor technology mean that wearable sensors are available that can provide information similar to that which once required an expensive lab setup. In addition to reducing costs, taking movement recordings outside of the lab has many other advantages. It is possible to record physiological and biomechanical signals in more realistic situations, record changes in behavior observed throughout the day, better quantify the natural variability in behavior at different time scales and in response to different events, and to monitor behavior to identify special events such as falls in real time. These insights have the potential to improve healthcare outcomes by improving diagnosis, allowing the tracking of progress (e.g., exercise) and rehabilitation, providing large data sets for use in research studies, and providing real-time feedback to improve behavior and for safety purposes. In this Special Issue, we invite papers on topics related to new techniques, analyses, and feedback of recording and monitoring of human movements in different environments using a variety of biomedical sensors.

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.
