Wearable Biomedical Sensors 2020

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to submit a contribution to this Special issue on Wearable Biomedical Sensors. Wearable biomedical sensors hold promise to tackle major challenges in healthcare, such as the diagnosis and management of chronic diseases such as epilepsy and diabetes, or remote monitoring of the elderly. These devices are drawing from recent advances in microsystems, biomedical engineering, and material science to provide real-time biophysical monitoring continuously and non-invasively. In general, the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) regroups all the wearable monitoring sensing devices used in advances in biomedical and healthcare applications to continuously collect patient data and store them in the cloud. The creation of reliable and inexpensive devices for personalized monitoring of vital signs is of crucial importance, especially in these terrible unprecedented circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is affecting all countries and all people in the world. The number of people being tested for COVID-19 is increasing daily. If found positive, patients are often asked to self-isolate and monitor their symptoms at home. Since some have severe responses that lead to respiratory distress, organ failure, and potentially death, it is extremely important to monitor the vital signs of these patients remotely and continuously.

This Special Issue of Sensors, entitled “Wearable Biomedical Sensors”, focuses on all aspects of the research and development related to these areas. Original research papers that focus on the design and implementation of new wearable biosensors, as well as papers focusing on their utilization in advanced biomedical and clinical applications, are welcome. Both reviews and original research articles will be considered for publication.

We look forward to, and welcome, your participation in this Special Issue.

Prof. Dr. Benoit Gosselin
Guest Editor

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.
