Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare technology, wearable sensors represent a pivotal advancement, offering unprecedented opportunities for medical diagnostics and rehabilitation. This Special Issue, titled 'Transformative Wearable Sensors: Shaping the Future of Medical Diagnostics and Rehabilitation', invites contributions that explore cutting-edge developments in wearable sensor technology. We seek research that demonstrates innovative designs, novel applications, and significant advancements in sensors capable of monitoring physiological signals and biomechanical parameters.
The focus is on sensors that enhance patient care through real-time health monitoring, the early detection of diseases, continuous therapeutic feedback, and personalized rehabilitation strategies. Contributions may include, but are not limited to, the development of new sensor materials, the integration of sensors with mobile and IoT devices, AI-driven data analysis for health assessment, and user-friendly designs for everyday wear.
Through comprehensive research articles, reviews, and case studies, this collection aims to showcase technologies that make healthcare more accessible, efficient, and tailored to individual needs. We encourage submissions from interdisciplinary teams that are pushing the boundaries of what wearable medical devices can achieve, thus driving the fields of medical diagnostics and rehabilitation forward.

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.
