Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Physiological monitoring can measure various health-related signals to provide detailed information about health conditions, and thus has great potential in disease diagnosis and personalized healthcare. In the last decade, the recording of physiological signals through flexible and wearable sensors has been a topic of rising interest in both the scientific community and among medical clinicians because of their convenience, portability, and capability in long-term monitoring. Recently, novel sensing materials, design strategies, manufacturing techniques, and signal processing methods have significantly boosted the development of flexible and wearable sensors. With the recording of physiological parameters through these sensors, long-term healthcare monitoring at home has been realized.
In this regard, the aim of this Topic entitled “Recent Advances in Flexible and Wearable Physiological Sensors” is to attract innovative works in the field of flexible and wearable sensors as well as their application in physiological signal monitoring. We encourage the submission of research articles and innovative reviews that focus on sensing materials, sensor designs, and fabrication technology for real-time, continuous, and long-term monitoring physiological signals.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- New materials for flexible sensors;
- Novel methods in processing the physiological data gained from flexible and wearable sensors (including statistical models, deep learning, etc.);
- Sensor fusion and integration for multiple signal sensing (including EEG, ECG, EMG, etc.);
- Flexible and wearable physiological sensors in the Internet of Things;
- Early diagnosis for potential diseases and injuries with wearable physiological sensors;
- Flexible physiological sensors system for rehabilitation;
- Health monitoring with flexible and wearable sensors in sports;
- Application of physiological sensors in driving;
- Physiological sensors in VR/AR applications;
- Fabrication technologies including the microfabrication and printing of flexible and wearable devices;
- Energy storage and supply for long-term monitoring wearable physiological sensors.

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.
