Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of wearable sensor development and application in Canada. We invite research articles that profile the broad spectrum of topics related to wearable sensors from technology and platform development, data analytics, data management, or security/privacy to the use of wearable technology across health care, workplace and sport/performance applications. Applied studies can range from population studies to feasibility or case series. Studies that focus on knowledge translation, implementation, and evaluation of wearable sensor technology are also encouraged. This Special Issue will publish high-quality research papers and review manuscripts. This Special Issue is directed toward, but not limited to, a range of topics including:
General Topics:
- Sensor development
- Reliability and validity
- Platforms supporting deployment of multi-modal/multi-nodal solutions
- Data curation and management techniques
- Data analytics for wearable sensors
- Data fusion and multi-sensor aggregation
- Standards and guidelines for analysis and use of wearable sensors
- In-clinic applications of wearable sensors
- Health system integration
- Free living applications of wearable sensors such as:
- Health promotion
- Aging
- Disease prevention, monitoring and management
- Occupational health, wellness and performance
- Activity/sport performance and training
- Usability, wearability and compliance of wearable sensors
- Feedback and behaviour change based on wearable sensors
- Data governance and privacy, ethical considerations and/or frameworks for use
- Clinical acceptance and usability of information from wearable sensors

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
