Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomedical signal processing plays a fundamental role in modern healthcare, enabling the transformation of raw physiological signals into clinically meaningful information. Advances in algorithm design, feature extraction, data fusion, and real-time analysis are driving improvements in diagnosis, monitoring, and personalized medicine. At the same time, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud- or IoT-based infrastructures are redefining how biomedical signals are processed, interpreted, and integrated into healthcare systems. Despite these advances, significant challenges remain, including robust noise reduction, reliable real-time interpretation, integration of multimodal and multisensory data, and privacy-preserving processing of large biomedical datasets. Addressing these issues is essential to fully exploit the potential of biomedical signal processing for continuous monitoring, decision support, and effective healthcare.
Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced biomedical signal acquisition and processing techniques.
- Artificial intelligence and machine learning for signal interpretation.
- Multimodal and multisensor data fusion.
- Cloud computing for real-time healthcare applications.
- IoT-based healthcare signal processing.
- Smart processing systems for personalized medicine.
- Privacy-preserving methods for biomedical datasets.
This Special Issue aims to present innovative methodologies, frameworks, and applications that address current challenges and define future trends in biomedical signal processing.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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.
