Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Wearable and implantable MEMS sensors and actuators have attracted tremendous attention in health monitoring, disease treatment, human–machine interaction, etc., due to their flexibility, minimization, low power consumption, and biocompatibility. A variety of devices have been developed in the last decade regarding the general aspects of advanced materials, device design, manufacturing, and packaging methods, as well as system integration.
This Special Issue focuses on the recent development and solution of wearable and implantable Bio-MEMS devices from the aspects of optimized design methods, micromachining technologies, and microsystem integration on any potential application. Specifically, the optimized design method includes the application of new biocompatible materials, theoretical calculation, and simulation; the micromachining technology focuses on the development of MEMS-fabricated devices based on either silicon or non-silicon materials to achieve better performance; microsystem integration should consider the packages, connection, miniaturization, failure modes, etc. In brief, wearable and implantable bio- and medical MEMS devices are expected to revolutionize personalized healthcare monitoring and precision therapy, and, thus, continued efforts to develop wearable and implantable devices and systems hold great promise for the quality of people’s lives. Any other topics related to bio- and medical MEMS are also welcome.

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. Micromachines 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 2600 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.
