Smart Sensors for Healthcare and Medical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in mechatronic technologies, the Internet of Things, wearable systems, miniaturized sensors, and data analysis are revolutionizing the way personal care services are provided, from the screening and prevention of pathologies to the management of chronic diseases. In this context, smart sensors play a crucial role in monitoring the progression of the pathologies, assessing the efficacy of administered therapies, providing rapid, low-cost and non-invasive diagnoses, as well as monitoring online relevant or vital signals during medical procedures.

This Special Issue is focused on new smart sensors and their applications to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, safety and sustainability of healthcare services in acute and chronic conditions, but also for prevention towards a healthy life and active aging. We strongly encourage the submission of papers focussing on the keywords below, but works on related topics will also be considered.
