Sensors in mHealth Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Current research in the field of mHealth applications heavily relies on (intelligent) sensors that are used to capture additional information from participants. For example, smart mobile applications (“apps”) connect with external devices (i.e., blood sugar measurement devices) to collect measurements, communicate with so-called “wearables”, or detect emotions or moods via video camera. Such intelligent sensors enable a plethora of novel application scenarios that may be particularly interesting in the context of medical applications or applications to educate and train participants.

This Special Issue aims to collect top-quality research focusing on novel approaches or emerging trends in the field of sensors in mHealth applications.

The key topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• mHealth applications;
• eHealth applications;
• mobile sensing;
• mobile data collection using sensors;
• IoT in healthcare;
• wearables;
• activity recognition;
• robotics (in medicine or care);
• emotion/mood detection using camera systems;
• ambient assisted living;
• AR and VR in healthcare applications (i.e., education).

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.
