Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible biosensors can be developed as wearable products that provide timely sensing and monitoring of biomarkers of the human body. Especially, wearable sensors detect physiological parameters such as thermal, electrical, chemical, and optical signals in nonlaboratory settings. Additionally, disease diagnosis and predictions are possible through the sensing of various biomarkers such as metabolites, drugs, VOCs, proteins, and nucleic acids from the biofluids. Flexible biosensors are not only used on the human body and can be easily attached and integrated onto 3D surfaces for various sensing purposes.
This Special Issue welcomes both reviews and original research articles. Topics include but are not restricted to wearable sensors, paper-based sensors, semi-implantable sensors, and sensors for in vitro diagnostics/point-of-care testing. Sensing methods include electrochemical, optical, colorimetric, and plasmonic sensing based on flexible materials. We invite and encourage your participation in this Special Issue.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
