Implantable Devices and Sensors

Dear Colleagues,

Implantable sensors offer the prospect of real-time data capable of directing an immediate medical response. With advances in power and communication systems, the focus is shifting to ensuring that the sensors remain viable for the required duration of use. This issue looks at the latest advances in making sensors and active devices viable enough to justify their implantation. Of particular interest is innovation in sensors relating to identified clinical needs, technologies, and capabilities that support chronic utilization, particularly in terms of power, communications, and encapsulation. Another topic of great importance is the methods by which devices are deployed and, in many cases, retrieved. Of further interest is the issue of how to test devices, for example, the hermiticity of their packaging, as they get smaller.

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.
