Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable electronic technologies are rapidly emerging as a transformative platform for next-generation healthcare. With the integration of soft materials, nanotechnology, and wireless communication, wearable sensors and electronic systems can now provide continuous, non-invasive monitoring of physiological signals, enabling timely diagnosis and personalized therapy. This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in the design, fabrication, and application of wearable biomedical electronics, including flexible and stretchable sensors, bioadhesive interfaces, hydrogel- and polymer-based devices, and implantable platforms. We particularly welcome contributions that address challenges in biocompatibility, signal stability, power management, and data integration, as well as studies that demonstrate translational potential in real-world biomedical settings.
This Special Issue topic fits closely with the scope of Sensors, as it brings together cutting-edge developments in sensing materials, device engineering, and system-level integration. By showcasing interdisciplinary research from electronics, materials science, and biomedicine, this Special Issue will provide a timely overview of wearable sensor technologies for advanced biomedical applications and help accelerate their impact in clinical diagnostics, therapeutic monitoring, and personalized healthcare.
We look forward to your contributions.
Dr. Yuting Cai
Guest Editor
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.
