Long-Term Biological Signals and Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Emerging wearable smart devices are applied to various vital healthcare applications such as physiological signal monitoring, therapeutic and drug delivery systems. The advances in wearable sensors have enabled long-term healthcare monitoring in home or hospital environments with recording vital physiological parameters. In particular, the long-term monitoring of the physiological parameters is a key for diagnosis of health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, functional movement disorder, sleep deprivation, circadian rhythm disorders, etc. The long-term recording enlarges the size of the physiological dataset, and thus design and development of an appropriate data analytics on those big dataset is crucial to improve the performance of the long-term healthcare monitoring systems.

This Special Issue encourages authors, from academia and industry, to submit new research results about technological innovations and novel applications of wearable sensors and their data analytics for long-term healthcare monitoring systems. The Special Issue topics include, but are not limited to:

The topics of interest for this issue include:

1. Wearable sensors

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.
