Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable health monitoring systems (WHMS) are transforming healthcare by providing non-intrusive, remote-access solutions for continuous biosignal monitoring. These devices enable ubiquitous point-of-care (POC) diagnostics and facilitate rapid medical intervention. Recent advances in this field have been made possible thanks to significant progress in multidisciplinary domains, including biosensors, RF antennas, energy storage devices, processing algorithms, and low-power communication protocols, enabling the development of cost-effective, low-power, and high-performance wearable devices. These innovations contribute to a more accessible and pervasive healthcare system. Consequently, ongoing research in WHMS should continue to explore low-cost materials and novel sensing technologies to further enhance performance, affordability, and integration of these devices.
This Special Issue aims to showcase novel technologies that support advances in WHMS, including advanced sensors, flexible antennas, innovative energy storage solutions, intelligent processing algorithms, and communication networks.
We warmly welcome original research articles, communications, and reviews that address recent developments in wearable technologies and sensors for healthcare applications.
Dr. Francisco J. Romero
Guest Editor
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
