Recent Advancements in Sensor Technologies for Healthcare and Biomedical Applications (Volume II)

Dear Colleagues,

As remarkable progress in the development of sensors being witnessed recently, advancements in sensor technologies provide unprecedented opportunities for early diagnosis and prevention of human diseases by detecting critical biomarkers; health assessments by monitoring and analyzing human physiological signals in healthcare and biomedical applications; and efficient evaluation of human health relevant environmental factors by monitoring and measuring the environmental determinants.

This special issue aims to provide an overview of recent advancements being made in sensing technologies, including sensors, smart devices, and their applications in healthcare, biomedical, and environmental research. The purpose of this special issue is to publish a set of papers that highlight insightful and influential concepts, designs, algorithms, and techniques in this field. We invite you to contribute original research articles, short communications, or reviews to this special issue. We expect these high-quality papers to be widely read and cited for improving the understanding of the physiological mechanism and the detection of accuracy and sensitivity, providing new perspectives and technologies in solving health-related problems and state-of-art designs to integrate multifunctional sensors.

 Relevant topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• sensors and biosensors for healthcare, biomedical and environmental research;
• wearable devices/sensors for healthcare, biomedical and environmental research;
• smartphone-connected sensors for healthcare and biomedical applications;
• robotics for healthcare and biomedical applications;
• IoT sensors for healthcare and biomedical applications;
• wearable and smartphone-connected sensors;
• integrated sensor systems;
• lab-on-a-chip devices and systems;
• audio, image, and multimodal sensing techniques;
• digital signal processing;
• healthcare environmental monitoring;
• urban environmental monitoring;
• data fusion technology in health/safety assessment;
• artificial intelligence;
• air quality monitoring.

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.
