Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Integrated sensor systems for medical applications refer to the application of multiple sensors, sometimes interconnected and coordinated, in order to gather and process data related to a patient's health or medical condition. These sensor systems play a crucial role in modern healthcare, enabling continuous monitoring, real-time data collection, and improved patient outcomes. They are designed to provide healthcare professionals with valuable information, enhance diagnostics, and enable personalized treatments.

This Special Issue therefore aims to collect original research and review articles that address recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in the field of integrated sensor systems.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Biometric Sensors
  • Activity Sensors
  • Implantable Sensors
  • Catheter sensor systems
  • Surgical sensors
  • Drug Delivery Systems
  • Wearable Devices
  • Remote Patient Monitoring

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.

The glucose level in the blood is measured through invasive methods, causing discomfort in the patient, loss of sensitivity in the area where the sample is obtained, and healing problems. This article deals with the design, implementation, and evaluation of a device with an ESP-WROOM-32D microcontroller with the application of near-infrared photospectroscopy technology that uses a diode array that transmits between 830 nm and 940 nm to measure glucose levels in the blood. In addition, the system provides a webpage for the monitoring and control of diabetes mellitus for each patient; the webpage is hosted on a local Linux server with a MySQL database. The tests are conducted on 120 people with an age range of 35 to 85 years; each person undergoes two sample collections with the traditional method and two with the non-invasive method. The developed device complies with the ranges established by the American Diabetes Association: presenting a measurement error margin of close to 3% in relation to traditional blood glucose measurement devices. The purpose of the study is to design and evaluate a device that uses non-invasive technology to measure blood glucose levels. This involves constructing a non-invasive glucometer prototype that is then evaluated in a group of participants with diabetes. Full article
