Sensing Technology for Telehealth Applications

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of the Sensors entitled “Sensing Technology for Telehealth Applications” will focus on all aspects of research and development related to this field. Sensing technology plays a pivotal role in telehealth applications, enabling remote monitoring, assessment, and management of patients' health conditions, in particular chronic conditions. Papers which focus on the design, evaluation, knowledge synthesis and implementation of sensing technology for telehealth applications will be included. It is the goal of this Special Issue to provide a broad platform for showcasing the many rapid advances in the field encompassing wearable devices (e.g., smartwatches, fitness trackers), remote patient monitoring devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, mobile health (mHealth) apps, biometric sensors, connected care, telemedicine cameras and video conferencing, point-of-care testing devices, remote imaging and diagnostic tools, digital twins for healthcare, and voice and speech analysis and teleophthalmology devices. It is envisioned that by allowing sufficient breadth in the submissions accepted, similarities across market segments may be realized by researchers in these different application areas, which will thus provide synergistic comparisons that may enhance the overall efforts of implementing sensing technology for telehealth applications throughout the world at the present time. Integration of sensing technology for telehealth applications enhances patient care, facilitates early detection, and improves chronic condition management, ultimately leading to better outcomes and cost-effective healthcare.

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.
