Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable biosensors are surging, evidenced by the escalating interest from both academia and the healthcare industry. Due to their capability for the noninvasive, real-time, and continuous monitoring of various health information of the human body, wearable biosensors have shown unique advantages in remote patient tracking, early diagnosis, and personalized medicine. Substantial progress has been made in developing wearable biosensing technologies for detecting biomarkers in sweat, tears, saliva, and interstitial fluid. Biosensors have been integrated with various wearable platforms, such as contact lenses, wristbands, patches, tattoos, and retainers for detecting different biomarkers, e.g., glucose, lactate, electrolytes, pH, and salivary uric acid. The potential of wearable biosensors can be further boosted by additive manufacturing (3D printing), artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and big data.
In this Special Issue, we would like to invite you to contribute research articles, reviews, or perspectives related to “Wearable Biosensors for Human Health Monitoring”. The welcomed topics include but are not limited to smart biosensing materials, novel wearable biosensing technologies, power management and energy harvesting, data transmission, algorithm development, wearable device integration, and performance validation.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
