Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Continuous health monitoring is the key technology to transform our curative medical systems into preventive systems. Avoiding adverse health events (stroke, heart failure, fall, …) and detecting the development of chronic diseases (asthma, diabetes, hypertonia, …) at early stages improves the quality of life (QoL) of patients and saves money in the health systems. The latter is particularly important as our societies become older and older, paired with a growing lack of medical experts.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health and wellbeing in six domains: environmental, behavioral, physiological, psychological, social, and spiritual. Including indirect measurements, such as cameras recording heart and respiratory rates, biomedical sensors are available on all these levels. In addition, artificial intelligence is available to analyze automatically the big data recorded by such sensors.
This special issue invites original research and reviews on sensors that support implementing preventive treatments. We cover
- Sensor technology and evaluation
- Multimodal health recordings
- Data recording, synchronization, and fusion
- Data analytics
- Medical applications

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.
