Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The advent of wearable technology has revolutionized the way we monitor and manage health. Wearable sensors, capable of continuously tracking various physiological parameters, have become pivotal in personalized healthcare, enabling real-time monitoring and early detection of health issues. This Special Issue aims to explore the latest advancements in wearable sensors and their applications in health monitoring.
We invite researchers to contribute original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and insightful case studies that address the development and application of wearable sensors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative wearable sensor technologies for health monitoring;
- Integration of wearable sensors with medical devices and healthcare systems;
- Advanced data analysis and machine learning techniques for sensor data;
- Applications of wearable sensors in chronic disease management and preventive healthcare;
- Wearable sensors for cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic health monitoring;
- Biomechanical sensing and movement analysis;
- Communication technologies for sensor networks in health monitoring;
- Privacy and security challenges in wearable health monitoring systems;
- User experience and human factors in wearable sensor design.

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. Applied Sciences 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.
