Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable sensors have emerged as a pivotal technology, revolutionizing various fields, including healthcare, fitness, and environmental monitoring. This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in wearable sensor design, materials, and applications. Contributions will explore a wide range of topics, such as:
- Novel sensor materials and fabrication techniques: Advances in flexible, stretchable, and biocompatible materials for wearable sensors;
- Sensor integration and miniaturization: Techniques for seamlessly integrating sensors into clothing, accessories, or directly on the body;
- Data processing and analysis: Algorithms for extracting meaningful information from wearable sensor data, including machine learning and artificial intelligence applications;
- Healthcare applications: Wearable sensors for continuous health monitoring, disease diagnosis, and treatment (telemedicine);
- Fitness and wellness: Wearable devices for tracking physical activity, sleep, and stress levels;
- Human–computer interactions: Wearable sensors for enhancing user experiences and enabling new forms of interaction;
- Antennas for wearable technology and body area networks.
This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in wearable sensor technology and highlight emerging trends and challenges. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing, this collection of papers will contribute to the continued development and adoption of wearable sensors across various domains.
