Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following people’s awareness of the importance of health and the aging of the world population, innovative technologies for sensors for healthcare and convalescence have attracted more attention in the fields of materials and sensors, biomedical engineering, optoelectronics, instrumentation, computer science and intelligence, and robotics. From simple healthcare devices to intelligent healthcare sensing systems, accurate detection and early warning of health conditions for humans, interacting with different living scenarios represent the most important requirements. The innovative sensors, sensing technologies, and sensing system that are compatible or implantable for convalescence instruments or medical robots are facing increasing demand for dysfunctional and aging people.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect recent advances on sensors and sensing systems for healthcare and convalescence applications. High-quality research articles, short communication, as well as reviews, are welcome. Of special interest is research work that seeks to address recent developments in small-size and wearable medical optoelectronic sensors or sensing systems, the fusion of these sensors into current health/medical devices and robots, biomedical sensor technology, reliability testing, novel strategies in handling issues in on-human applications, the state-of-the-art applications, innovative data analysis technologies on sensed data in the framework of health care and wellness, as well as relevant prospects in terms of opportunities and challenges.
Papers are solicited in, but are not limited to, the following and related topics:
- New sensor materials and technologies for healthcare and convalescence
- Printed, flexible, biodegradable and biocompatible optoelectronics
- Sensor devices and sensor arrays
- Novel optoelectronics for brain activity monitoring
- Sensors and Systems for Brain Computer Interfaces
- Sensors and Systems for Physical Rehabilitation
- Wearable and implantable sensors for healthcare and convalescence
- Application of the sensors in health/medical devices and robots
- Reliability testing of above sensors and systems
- Issues and strategies in on-human application of the above sensors
- Innovative data analysis technologies in the above scope

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
