Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, a key factor for early detection and successful clinical management of diseases, while improving patients' quality of life, is the development of non-invasive and cost-effective biomedical sensors for the measurement of physiological parameters from the human body. Recent developments in sensor materials, electronics, and novel applications of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in the domain of physiological signals could open to healthcare providers new exciting avenues for personalized healthcare monitoring to make better decisions.

This Special Issue addresses the latest advancements in all types of non-invasive sensors designed for human disease diagnosis and health monitoring, as well as the developments in novel sensing techniques for non-invasive measurement of the comprehensive set of biomarkers. Recent achievements in device concepts and sensor fabrication, including wireless and wearable sensors and the engineering of low-cost, miniaturized AI-powered sensing systems that provide continuous, real-time, and long-term monitoring of key biomarkers, are welcomed.

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.
