Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart rate monitoring is used in numerous applications, ranging from consumer lifestyle applications to patient monitoring in intensive care units. Novel applications demand more unobtrusive or innovative methods to monitor heart rate.
This Special Issue was created with an interdisciplinary approach, including several topics that cover the main features in the field of sensors. This Special Issue aims to bring together researchers that are active in the development of innovative sensors, as well as those active in the field of signal analysis, to extract reliable heart rate information from such sensors.
We are looking for research covering all aspects of sensors for heart rate monitoring, including but not limited to, recent developments in new sensors or sensor principles for heart rate monitoring, innovative/miniaturized devices for heart rate monitoring, signal processing methods that improve reliability, and applications of heart rate monitoring from lifestyle to medical purposes.
Both review articles and original research papers are welcome.

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.
