Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of wearable recording systems is increasingly recognized in medical practice as a reliable method for diagnostics and for both clinical and remote healthcare delivery. Scientific research mainly focuses on challenges related to materials, fabrication technologies, software, and hardware solutions, ensuring the accurate recording of biochemical indicators and vital parameters with minimal discomfort for users. For example, capacitive electrodes are used more often for the continuous monitoring of heart rate, respiration, temperature, and other parameters by depositing chemically resistant nanocoatings on various flexible substrates. Biosensors are central to wearable healthcare technologies, enabling the real-time, precise detection of a wide range of biochemical and physiological markers. Their integration into wearable systems offers potential for early diagnosis, continuous health monitoring, and personalized medicine. Advances in biosensor design that incorporate novel materials, innovative fabrication techniques, self-sustainable power supplies, and system integration are essential to overcoming current limitations and unlocking their full potential in medical and health applications. Accordingly, this Special Issue aims to present research papers, short communications, and review articles focusing on innovative methodological developments in wearable biosensors and devices, as well as their applications for various biochemical and biomedical purposes. The Special Issue also seeks to highlight recent progress and future prospects in developing wearable biosensors, from material innovations to system-level implementations, ultimately improving patient outcomes and transforming healthcare practice.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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 2100 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.
