Soft Sensors & Flexible Electronics for Digital Healthcare

Dear Colleagues,

Although electrochemical, optical, thermal, and piezoelectric biosensors have been developed considerably in the past decade. There is a rising interest in soft and stretchable biosensors due to their crucial capability of complying with the intrinsically soft, irregular and often complex geometry of biological tissues.  Such a wearable and implantable soft/flexible biosensing system provides real-time and non-intrusive health monitoring for patients. This type of sensors provides the crucial capability to a paradigm transition from current hospital-centred diagnostics to future patient-centred diagnostics. The applications of this type of sensors in healthcare are numerous e.g.  monitoring of vital markers, heart rate, blood pressure and temperature.

This Special Issue encourages authors, from academia and industry, to submit new research results in the broad field of flexible biosensors. The Special Issue topics include, but are not limited to:

Modelling, characterization and fabrication of flexible biosensors

Wearable and flexible biosensors

Wearable health monitoring

Stretchable biosensors

Sensing materials

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.
