Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Novel materials are enabling myriad medical applications that were not available until recently. Such applications include human health monitoring, drug delivery, disease detection and treatment, among others. Sensors can serve real-time human health monitoring—a trend that is growing in importance in the fields of medical technology and healthcare practice. Although medical devices that patients carry with them and that log medical data over a time period have been used for decades, they are being revolutionized by wearable technology, wireless data streaming, and big data analytics. Novel wearable sensors that are unobtrusive are being developed from new classes of materials, including graphene and other 2D materials. These materials are compatible with flexible wearable substrates, and can have advantageous thermal, mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. This Special Issue is open to papers that address all aspects of using such materials in medicine, including medical sensors, biosensors, the development of wearable devices, and others. For example, developments in the use of 2D materials for sensing body temperature, sweat composition, heartbeat, pulse oxygenation, respiration rate, blood pressure, blood glucose, electrocardiogram signal, electromyogram signal, electroencephalograph signal, and other physiological parameters are welcome, as are descriptions of novel medical devices that incorporate 2D materials.

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.
