Sensors and Digital Solutions for Human Health and Health Risk Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

Advances in microelectronics have resulted in a burst of compact sensors and wearable systems for motion tracking and measurement of biosignals. In addition to monitoring human movements and physiological conditions, the popularity of the internet of things (IoT) sensors provides improved access to environmental data, physical activity and movement habits. The popularity of such systems with relatively low cost and acceptable usability is opening the door to novel healthcare applications. In particular, sensors, systems, mobile apps for chronic diseases management, digital and remote consultancy, ergonomic risk assessment, work-technique training, athletes’ performance training and virtual coaching are being developed by different research groups and startups.

In this issue, we invite researchers to contribute original research papers or comprehensive reviews to this Special Issue on “Sensors and Digital Solutions for Human Health and Health Risk Monitoring”. Your contributions will help improve and advance methodologies to develop sensors, processes and analyses of biosignals and corresponding health-related and health-risk-related data, and to use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques to strengthen and complement traditional health and risk assessment systems.

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.
