Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in microfabrication, additive fabrication, microelectronics, and sensors are enabling new classes of devices and applications in the fields of biomedical sensors and in industrial applications. Application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) systems on chip (SoC) for sensor interrogation and on-node signal processing, advanced computation methods, analog signal processing, data classification and fusion, as well as in-memory computing allow ultra-low power consumption and miniaturization, necessary for IoT, wearable, and implantable devices. Advanced sensors that are flexible and stretchable allow the seamless integration of sensors into the daily routines of users, enabling greater pervasiveness and improved quality of recorded data. Transiency is ideal for implantable devices that can be assimilated once they are no longer needed. Such sensing systems can be dc to medium-frequency electrical sensors (electrochemical, electrophysiological, bioimpedance, gas sensors, physical sensors, etc.) or high-frequency (radar) or optical-based approaches (e.g., photoplethysmography). Issues with sensitivity, selectivity, biocompatibility, packaging, ASIC integration, sensor modelling (especially with regard to mechanical perturbations), sensing modalities, and the co-integration of many types of sensors using different modalities for multi-parametric/multi-modal sensing are of interest to this Special Issue.

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.
