Cutting-Edge, Wearable Electronic Technologies and Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Wearable sensor development and diffusion have thrived in recent decades, owing to the significant progress in sensor miniaturization, performance, and low-power consumption. Simultaneously, advances in wireless technologies stimulated the development of complete wearable platforms capable of providing immediate feedback to the user/patient or remote monitoring. Several applications arose in the fields of health, fitness, and wellness. The medical community is now able to use telemedicine to improve patient comfort while at the same time tracking pathologies. The fitness industry can take advantage of the technology for monitoring athletes’ performance, and several tools are available for pursuing a wellness lifestyle and monitoring our health and the environment in which we live.

The main focus of this Special Issue is on cutting-edge developments of wearable sensors, from the perspectives of electronics, sensors, and various applications, including relevant hardware/software tools for data acquisition, processing, and communication, aimed at monitoring physiological signs or the environment in real-time.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Wearable electronics for healthcare applications;
• Sensors and electronics for wellness applications;
• Wearable and ambient sensors;
• Integrated circuits and systems for sensor signal acquisition and processing;
• Biopotentials measurements;
• Environmental sensing with miniaturized electronic systems;
• Wireless body sensor networks;
• Smart textile solutions for wearable electronics;
• Real-time body fluid analysis;
• Body motion tracking systems;
• Energy harvesting;
• Hardware/software platforms for sensor data processing and communication.

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.
