Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In current society, the demand for daily health monitoring is increasing owing to the increase in health consciousness, the prevalence of infectious diseases, and the growing elderly population. Recent advances in small sensor device technologies, batteries, communication technologies, and so on have enabled the development of sensor systems, thereby satisfying such demands. These systems can be used in daily life with minimal or no discomfort and can store measurement data. The sensors must be small and enable unconstrained measurements to avoid interference with daily activities. This is achieved, for example, through the production of wearable sensors, attaching sensors to chairs or beds, or installing cameras inconspicuously in rooms. Because the targets are humans in their natural environments, sensor information processing must be able to cope with various situations, such as various human body shapes and sizes and daily changes in physical conditions and environments.
In this Special Issue, we invite papers on algorithm development, experimental systems, and system integration in health monitoring systems to obtain a person’s health information in daily life.

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.
