Wearable Devices for Physical Activity and Healthcare Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Wearable sensors have received much attention following the recent technological advances and the arrival of mobile devices. Their proven ability as an essential clinical tool provides unique insights into different physical activity and healthcare monitoring applications, both in day-to-day and controlled environments. These devices have become increasingly capable of collecting accurate data, and have demonstrated computing capabilities, including AI and machine learning. Now, more than ever, wearable technologies provide fertile ground for countless applications in public health, sedentary behaviour, remote clinical monitoring, and digital healthcare.

We welcome research studies, as well as review manuscripts, focusing on the application of wearables for objective recognition, which might include, but is not limited to, the following topics:

New keywords:

• Physiological disorders;
• Disability;
• Orthopaedics;
• Epidemiology;
• Public health;
• Detection;
• Prevention;
• Sedentary behaviour;
• Digital healthcare;
• Wearable motion and pressure sensors;
• Textile sensors for human movement

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.
