Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Many emerging technological devices have the potential to improve data capture sensitivity, accuracy, reproducibility, and feasibility, thus surpassing some of the limitations of traditional clinical tests.
So far, wearable devices have mostly been tested and used in laboratory settings. With the expected significant increase in the number of neurological patients in the coming decades, remote monitoring, with its ability to provide a more holistic and continuous view of a patient's condition in a given environment, will become a crucial tool for providing and optimizing patient care. Therefore, it is critical that researchers focus on developing devices, algorithms, and assessment protocols that can help us achieve this goal.
For this Special Issue, we encourage researchers working in the field of neurological patient remote monitoring to share their latest findings on this new method for evaluating patients.
Topic of interest include:
- Advances in wearable technology for remote monitoring of neurological diseases;
- Protocols developed for evaluating neurological patients in real-world scenarios;
- Major roadblocks and challenges in developing new remote monitoring devices for neurological patients;
- User perspective regarding using technology in real-life situations.

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.
