Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on recent advances in secure, trustworthy, and robust AI for biomedical sensing and imaging applications. As AI technologies become increasingly embedded in biomedical systems, from diagnostic imaging to physiological signal monitoring, there is a growing need for solutions that ensure data privacy, model robustness, interpretability, and efficiency under real-world conditions. In addition to secure and privacy-preserving techniques such as adversarial defense, federated learning, and differential privacy, we also welcome research on efficient, robust, and generalizable deep learning methods that address the challenges of limited data, domain shift, and deployment on edge devices. The scope includes AI methods applied to medical imaging, wearable or implantable sensors, and other healthcare-related sensing modalities. We invite contributions that offer novel methodologies, practical frameworks, and application-driven insights. Original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and well-validated application studies are all welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced AI for biomedical image analysis;
- Trustworthy multi-modal sensor data fusion;
- Robust AI under adversarial or noisy inputs;
- Privacy-preserving AI methods for medical diagnostics;
- Federated and distributed learning with sensitive health data;
- Explainable AI for clinical decision-making;
- Lightweight deep models for edge-based healthcare applications.

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
