IoT-Based Wearable Sensors and Health and Performance Monitoring in the Home and Hospital-Based Rehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

Digital health technologies , such as smartwatches, smartphones, and smart biometric sensors that are worn on the body, and machine and deep learning-based data analytics have become widely accepted in home- and hospital-based rehabilitation programs for health and performance monitoring during therapeutic exercises. By taking advantage of these advanced digital health technologies, recent efforts have been made to create various self-monitoring applications and ensure adherence to home-/remote/hospital-based rehabilitation programs and personalized and patient-centered therapeutic exercise protocols.

Therefore, this Special Issue aims to put together original research and review articles on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of rehabilitation engineering research.

The potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Internet of Things (IoT)-based health monitoring;
• Wearable sensors for electrophysiological and motor monitoring;
• Home and hospital-based rehabilitation settings;
• Remote and mobile rehabilitation;
• Aquatic therapy and rehabilitation;
• Digital health technology;
• Technology for adherence to and effectiveness of home/remote/hospital therapeutic exercise;
• User-/patient-centered rehabilitation programs and protocols;
• Computer-assisted rehabilitation tools;
• Exoskeleton;
• Posture and balance.

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.
