Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, portable and wearable sensing technologies have been one of the most rapidly developing hightech and interdisciplinary hotspots. The emerging wearable and portable sensing technologies are widely expected to meet the growing needs and challenges in healthcare due to their low cost, simple operation, easy readout, and respectable detection performance. Portable and wearable sensing systems have already accomplished some demonstration applications, such as biomarker detection in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, sweat detection, wound condition monitoring and treatment, etc. It provides an alternate avenue to clinical diagnostics. With continued innovation and development, biomaterials, nanomaterials, flexible materials, compact sensing systems, and novel detecting techniques have all contributed to the substantial advancement of portable and wearable systems. However, there are still a lot of obstacles to overcome and room for improvement in fully utilizing the capabilities of portable and wearable sensing devices. Therefore, both breathable and biocompatible materials, sampling preparation techniques, stable and accurate sensors and their arrays, long-term power supply systems, stable data acquisition and analysis terminals, fully flexible electronic circuits, miniaturized detection and treatment integration systems, detection and analysis of multiple physiological parameters, etc., are key problems in future portable and wearable system research. Advances in any of these areas will greatly boost the development of wearable systems in the medical field.
The aim of this Issue on “Advances in Portable and Wearable Sensing Systems for Biochemical Monitoring” is to highlight recent methodological advances in portable and wearable biosensors and systems for health monitoring and novel materials and platforms for biochemical parameter detection, from the design of new biosensors and devices to the experimental verification, up to the point-of-care testing and wearable applications. Original research articles and review papers are welcome.
We look forward to receiving your outstanding research outcomes.
