Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable sensing devices for health monitoring are becoming increasingly widespread in the general population, in addition to their expanding use in the hospital settings they were once limited to. This necessitates innovations aimed at making them smaller and more ergonomic, more sensitive and accurate, easy to use, and configured to provide readouts that are straightforward to interpret.
These advancements in wearable sensing technologies require bringing together expertise from cross-disciplinary areas, from sensor molecule synthesis and materials science, to engineering and data processing. This is supported by rapidly expanding technologies such as 3D printing, and data processing with the addition of machine learning capabilities.
For this Special Issue, we would like to invite the submission of manuscripts focusing on new, application-oriented research for improving device performance, design, and data reporting, overall leading to innovations in the development of new wearable sensing technologies for health and physiological performance monitoring. Studies describing novel approaches in any of the areas of synthesis and material development, electronics and engineering, device design, or data analysis, with a focus on improving health and performance monitoring using wearable devices, are welcome.

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.
