Flexible and Wearable Electronics: Design and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Flexible and wearable electronics, along with edge-computing AI, can revolutionize may sectors in future including healthcare, urban planning, transportation, robotics, prosthetics, smart living, agriculture, environment monitoring, and human–computer interactions. These systems need to be resilient and autonomous, while reliable and benevolent in unsupervised settings. Newer technologies to produce miniature, low-cost, flexible, and reliable sensors and wearables have paved the hardware revolution for these technologies. Furthermore, the continuously collected big data need to be processed in real time for actionable decision making with a high degree of accuracy and reliability using artificial intelligence (AI). Resolving these issues requires innovation in both hardware and software domains with an integrated hardware–software co-design paradigm with resource-constrained settings. The purpose of this Special Issue is to address the ongoing research activities in these fields of flexible electronics and wearable and IoT, along with edge-computing AI, for a variety of applications including healthcare, mobile health, smart health, remote monitoring, smart living, robotics, prosthetics, assistive technologies, agriculture and environment monitoring, and human–computer interactions.

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. Electronics 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 2400 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.
