Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Photoelectric sensing is showing increasing application in wearable electronics, providing opportunities for personal health and medical monitoring. With the development of wearable optoelectronic technologies, photoplethysmography has become a powerful technique for noninvasive, inexpensive and convenient cardiovascular disease monitoring. The photodetector is a vital component of the photoplethysmography platform, which is used to detect back-scattered or transmitted light response to variation in blood volume, in order to obtain physiological parameters. It is urgent to develop high-performance, low-cost photoelectric sensing for wearable electronics.
In this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute your novel research work and innovative progress regarding photoelectric devices and their sensing technologies in wearable electronics. We encourage manuscript submissions of work related to optical materials and devices and photodetectors. The purpose of this issue is to highlight the recent progress and trends in innovative photoelectric devices, sensing technologies and their applications in health monitoring and imaging. Areas of interest include (but are not limited to):
- Photodetectors based on 2D materials or perovskites;
- Photoelectric device for sensing;
- Photodetector application for single-pixel image;
- Flexible photoelectric sensors;
- Photodetectors for visible NIR detection;
- Photoplethysmography sensor, wave and signal processing;
- Photoelectric device for heart rate and blood pressure monitoring;
- Integrated photoelectric device for sensing applications.

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.
