Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smartphones incorporate a variety of sensors that can appreciably enhance their capabilities and become very useful tools beyond their basic functions for making phone calls, surfing the internet, or texting. For instance, they can bear barometers, accelerometers, luxmeters, pressure sensors, and gaussmeters, among others, which can be used to make measurements with a good level of precision. Even when we may not be aware of it, many mobile applications, like pedometers, video games, code scanners, or compasses, use data collected by sensors. The number of applications of smartphone sensors has increased over the years and spans many areas of science and technology.
We kindly invite researchers and professionals from different disciplines to contribute to this Special Issue with their recent works on smartphone sensors. Contributions in areas (but not limited to) such as education, healthcare, well-being, disease diagnosis, environmental sciences, and elderly care are especially welcome. We also encourage publications on cost-effective, low-cost, and highly innovative smartphone sensors, with a focus on their utility for a broad public.
