Radar Sensing for Health Monitoring

Dear Colleagues,

There has been a great deal of research on the use of sensors to monitor people's health, with the aim of improving their quality of life. It is evident that the context of subject monitoring comprises a wide range of applications, involving the use of extremely differentiated sensor technologies capable of monitoring many aspects of people's health. The monitoring of human behavior is always an interesting topic in radar research, and many radar technologies have been applied to extract human-related information from signals. Since the recognition of human health characteristics can be crucial for improving and preserving people's lives, the progress of radar technology in this field is extremely exciting. Improvements in these technologies in recent years open up a wide range of possibilities, with sensors now available at different radio carrier frequencies and with very wide bands, making it possible to explore fields that were previously unattainable due to hardware limitations. Toward this end, signal processing approaches such as those based on micro-Doppler could be beneficial. In fact, they have recently been applied in the field of human health and behavior recognition, often in association with modern machine learning techniques.

This Special Issue intends to collect contributions of the most recent research activity in the context of people health monitoring based on radar technology.

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.
