Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of wearable sensors is revolutionizing health monitoring and personal wellness. By enabling the continuous and real-time tracking of a wide range of health and behavioral metrics; these devices provide valuable insights that can inform preventive measures; guide rehabilitation strategies; and support personalized healthcare. Beyond personal health; they also expand our capacity to understand and respond to environmental factors that affect our overall well-being.
This Special Issue will showcase the state of the art in wearable sensor technologies for health monitoring; highlighting recent advances in sensing materials; device engineering; and data analytics. We welcome contributions that explore novel sensor designs; groundbreaking applications; and multidisciplinary approaches that push the boundaries of wearable technologies and their role in healthcare.
We invite submissions on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Next-generation wearable sensors for health monitoring;
- New sensing materials for health applications;
- Innovations in physical rehabilitation using wearable devices;
- Continuous activity tracking and physiological sensing;
- Wearable solutions for personalized medicine and telehealth;
- Environmental and lifestyle monitoring for preventive healthcare;
- Advanced data analytics and machine learning for wearable health;
- AI-driven innovations in wearable healthcare;
- Security and privacy in wearable health platforms.
