Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aging global population faces increasing health challenges that require continuous monitoring and assessment for the maintenance of well-being and independence. Advanced sensor technology; including wearable devices; ambient sensors; remote sensing; and bio-integrated systems; has revolutionized health monitoring systems for older adults; enabling the accurate tracking and evaluation of their health status. The Special Issue entitled "Advanced Sensors for Health Monitoring in Older Adults" aims to showcase the latest research and developments in this field.
This platform encourages researchers to present their most recent innovations in sensor-based health monitoring for older adults; highlighting cutting-edge approaches to assess physiological parameters; detect early signs of health deterioration; and support preventive interventions while respecting privacy and ethical considerations.
We invite the submission of original research papers; reviews; and perspectives that address the challenges and opportunities in this area. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wearable and ambient sensors for continuous and non-intrusive health monitoring in older adults.
- Remote sensing technologies and bio-integrated sensors for the real-time tracking of physiological and biochemical parameters.
- Advanced data processing; analysis; and fusion techniques for comprehensive health assessment.
- Machine learning and artificial intelligence methods for predictive health monitoring and personalized care recommendations.
- The integration of multi-sensor systems for a holistic view of older adults' health and the early detection of age-related conditions.
- Applications of advanced sensors in the geriatric care; rehabilitation; and management of chronic conditions.
- Ethical considerations; privacy; and security issues in health monitoring for older adults.
- The performance evaluation and validation of advanced sensor systems for health monitoring.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue and hope that it will inspire further research and innovation in the field of advanced sensors for health monitoring in older adults.

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. Sensors 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 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.
