Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Flexible and wearable electronics technology has grown tremendously in recent decades. It has found many applications, including—but not limited to—healthcare monitoring and sensing, as well as therapeutics applications. Innovative devices, such as wearable blood flow monitors, wearable blood pressure monitors, and wearable sweat analyte monitors, are just some of the examples of breakthroughs in the field.
In particular, the field of medicine benefits from the advances in flexible and wearable electronics technology. The advantages of epidermal devices in medicine include the precise and continuous monitoring of healthcare vitals without the hassle of wires used in traditional healthcare monitoring systems, as well as a higher signal-to-noise ratio due to more conformal contacts with the skin. As engineers work closely with physicians to revolutionize the future of medicine, monitoring/sensing/therapeutic devices miniaturize and became more sophisticated.
The main aim of this Special Issue is to seek high-quality submissions that highlight emerging applications and address recent breakthroughs in the flexible and wearable electronics field, including applications such as healthcare sensing, monitoring, as well as therapeutics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Flexible and wearable electronics for healthcare monitoring;
- Flexible and wearable electronics for healthcare sensing;
- Flexible and wearable electronics for therapeutics application (i.e., stimulators);
- Flexible and wearable electronics for energy harvesting.

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.
