Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increase in life expectancy has imposed on the scientific community the need to research and design new devices and sensing systems, aiming to promote a better quality of life for citizens. This goal can be achieved, for example, through the discovery of new drugs, systems that enable the detection of diseases at increasingly early stages, or even through systems helping to ensure that citizens live an autonomous and healthier life. Due to their performance characteristics and potential advantages of size, weight, power, and cost, in recent years, there has been an increasing study of photonics technologies for healthcare-focused sensing purposes. This issue aims to collect the latest scientific results and developments in photonic solutions for healthcare, covering innovative sensor configurations, all the associated sensing instrumentation, and emerging applications.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Optical fiber sensors and biosensors
- Point-of care devices
- Wearables biomedical sensors
- Optical sensors in e-Health architectures
- Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for bioapplications
- Cost-effective, miniaturized, selective, and multiparameter photonic devices

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
