Wireless Body Area Networks for Health Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Advanced solutions for personal health management, including patients’ health monitoring and risk prediction systems, rely on new technologies for providing trustable measuring and data communications from the data source to the medical health control centre. Wireless body area networks (WBAN) play a key role in this context. The main focus of this Special Issue is personalized medicine: remote monitoring of patients via the adoption of innovative sensors solutions, including implantable sensors, wearable sensors, and sensors and devices for remote diagnosis and for chronic diseases and co-morbidities analysis. Moreover, efficient algorithms for data pre-processing within the sensors, and power optimization strategies and communication mechanisms for the collection of data from sensors (in-body communications) and their transmission to the cloud (out-body communications), are some of the main topics of this Special Issue.

All these topics aim to make the healthcare processes more effective, focusing on various theoretical and experimental views on the WBAN applications, technologies and utilizations based on extended versions of best-evaluated papers from Bodynets 2019, as well as quality papers from open call.

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.
