Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

While COVID-19's grip may be loosening, its enduring impact continues to afflict millions of people around the world, underscoring the pressing need for advancements in bioelectronics. Despite significant strides made by industry and academia, a gap between existing biomedical devices and techniques remains, and the demand for more effective, efficient, bio-compatible, and affordable innovations has escalated.

To address this need, this Special Issue seeks submissions that demonstrate substantial contributions to the field of electronics within the context of biomedical applications. We invite research on recent advancements in non-invasive treatments, advanced materials for biocompatibility applications, and innovative biomedical devices. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, drug delivery and dosage control, stretchable bioelectronics, spray-on skin, and biocompatible materials for prosthetics.

Through the publication of research, reviews, and perspective articles covering a broad spectrum of topics, this Special Issue aims to offer a comprehensive standpoint on bioelectronics. We aim to facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchange among esteemed researchers from academia and industry alike. Experts from all disciplines are encouraged to contribute, advancing our collective understanding of biomedical engineering.

Digital microfluidics is a novel technique for manipulating discrete droplets with the advantages of programmability, small device size, low cost, and easy integration. The development of droplet sensing methods advances the automation control of digital microfluidics. Impedance measurement emerges as a promising technique for droplet localization and characterization due to its non-invasive nature, high sensitivity, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. However, traditional impedance measurement approaches in digital microfluidics based on the high-voltage actuating signal are limited in sensing accuracy in practical applications. In this paper, we propose a novel droplet impedance sensing system for digital microfluidics by introducing a low-voltage and addressable measurement circuit, which enables impedance measurement over a wide frequency range. The proposed measurement system has also been used for detecting the droplet composition, size, and position in a digital microfluidic chip. The improved impedance sensing method can also promote the applications of the digital microfluidic, which requires high accuracy, real-time, and contactless sensing with automatic sample pretreatment.
