Wearable Sensors for Human Activity Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,  

The digital health field has seen a surge in product development over the last decade, with product introductions ranging from wrist monitors, epidermal electronics, electronic pills and smart garments, much of these precipitated through the commercialisation and commoditization of sensor technology. The convenient use of wireless technology to track and monitor physiological parameters, such as heart rate, distance, sleep and stress, has emerged to become relevant to patient care and human performance assessment. However, collecting data is not enough to inform clinical decision-making. It is essential to translate the acquired data into information relevant to clinicians. This Special Issue focuses on the use of wearable technology for human activity monitoring. We encourage the submission of papers that focus on the use of wearable technology for diagnosis, performance optimization and management, disease management, and outcome measures within healthy populations and patients. We are also seeking submissions of manuscripts related to the keywords listed below.
