Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Given the increasing expenses associated with healthcare and the declining accessibility of quality medical services, the utilization of wearable sensors, particularly for medical purposes, emerges as an appealing choice. These sensors offer users the opportunity to proactively manage their health by continuously monitoring their well-being in real-time, thereby facilitating the early identification and diagnosis of potential underlying medical conditions. Simultaneous tracking and measurement of various physical, biomechanical, and physiological parameters encompassing aspects like muscle fatigue, electromyography (EMG) and electrocardiography (ECG), wound temperature and healing, and more can yield valuable information for healthcare professionals, thereby making substantial strides in this field.
Wearable electronics have been specifically designed to seamlessly integrate into everyday life, prioritizing factors such as accuracy, comfort, ergonomic design, sustainability, washability, and reliability. This special edition focuses on revolutionary wearable sensors and devices designed to revolutionize both preventative and therapeutic healthcare applications, contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Wearable sensors
- Bioelectronics
- Health sensing
- Flexible and stretchable sensors
- Implantable sensors
