Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable devices are integrated analytical devices that can be worn on the body. These devices, encompassing smartwatches, wristbands, fabrics, patches, rings, or tattoos, serve not only as extensions of digital connectivity but also as a mobile platform for health management. They can track not only vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, but also biochemical signals such as glucose, ion concentrations, and hormones at a molecular level. To date, these wearable devices provide real-time health insights, and the integration of artificial intelligence has further enhanced the predictive capabilities of health monitoring and disease diagnostics, allowing for early detection and personalized medicine.
This Special Issue of Electronics entitled “Wearable Device Design and its Latest Applications” is devoted to presenting the latest advances in wearable devices, with a particular emphasis on current developments in designs, materials, sensors, integrated systems, and robotic and biomedical applications. We welcome authors to submit their research on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Soft materials for conformal skin contact;
- Innovative wearable sensors towards new biomarkers;
- Integrated wearable device designs and system integrations;
- Cost-efficient and mass-producible fabrication methods for wearables;
- Energy harvesting and power-efficient wearable systems;
- Efficient data collection and analysis;
- Privacy and data protection in wearable devices;
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning tools for health predictions;
- Exploration of integrated systems for robotics and human–machine interfaces;
- Exploration of integrated systems for healthcare and disease applications.

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. Electronics 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.
