Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Point-of-care (POC) testing is an in vitro detection method that is able to obtain detection results instantly at the sampling site by utilizing rapid and convenient analytical instruments as well as supporting reagents. By collecting and analyzing samples such as whole blood, serum, urine, saliva, viruses, bacteria and other proteins, the POCT is capable of performing healthcare, disease management, therapy assistance and food safety monitoring in a hospital, clinic, doctor's office or at home. Accordingly, corresponding diagnostic platforms are required for the quantitative detection of analytes. These detection systems usually need to meet the following requirements: (a) rapid test process, (b) high accuracy and sensitivity, (c) simple to operate, (d) steady working conditions, and (e) automatic analysis and data transmission.
This Special Issue presents an interesting opportunity for researchers who work in the POC sensor field. We invite contributions to this Special Issue from different fields about sensor, biosensing for health monitoring. The list of potential topics is broad, but we are particularly interested in studies on the design, development, and applications of sensor based technologies in POC sensing. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following research areas:
- Intelligent health-monitoring system
- Sensor development and characteristics
- Wearable sensors in medical health applications
- Point-of-care testing devices, microdevices, nanodevices
- MEMS sensors with sensing nanocomponents
- Nanotechnology for on-chip biosensors
- Nano-Magnetic sensor for device application

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.
