Biomedical Sensors for Diagnosis and Rehabilitation-2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

According to the data provided by the World Health Organization, by 2030, one in six people in world will be aged 60 years or over. From a biological point of view, aging is a natural process where the cellules become damaged over time, increasing the risk of suffering several diseases. After acute trauma, rehabilitation therapy aims to recover these lost capabilities and restore the autonomy of the patients.

Cost-effective technologies that assist researchers and medical practitioners are needed. Biosensors are key elements in diagnosis and prognosis, and eventually, rehabilitation therapies. The medical society demands safe and cheaper means of performing their work in order to guarantee the sustainability of the entire healthcare system.

In general, biosensors can be applied to infection screening, early detection, chronic disease treatment, health management, and well-being surveillance. Moreover, some of them play an important role in rehabilitation. Physiological monitoring via biosensors could help in both the diagnosis and ongoing treatment of a huge number of individuals with neurological, cardiovascular, and pulmonary diseases, among others.

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.
