Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart health (sHealth) incorporates traditional mobile health (mHealth) aspects and extends it to beyond the users and direct stakeholders to the community, society and beyond, into spatiotemporal domains. The underlying technology integrates existing and emerging wearables along with the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G wireless and smart infrastructures coupled with artificially intelligent (AI) algorithms using edge-, fog- and cloud-computing to process the continuously collected data in real time for actionable decision making with a high degree of accuracy and reliability. Resolving these challenges requires approaches that integrate the hardware–software co-design paradigm, resource constrained data collection and processing, novel techniques for smart and flexible sensors, on-chip and off-chip processing, novel power saving, harvesting and scavenging, lightweight machine learning and deep learning classifiers, autonomous and semi-autonomous feedbacks for closed-loop cyber-physical systems (CPS) and human interpretable representations of these big data problems in a meaningful and timely basis. The purpose of this Special Issue is to address the ongoing research activities in this high-impact field of wearable sensors for sHealth applications.

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.
