Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electronics and sensors in healthcare are driving forces for improving quality of care and safety. From wearable devices to the operating theatre and implants, electronics and sensors are playing a vital role. Miniaturisation has led to more implantable devices for accurate in-vivo measurement. In some of these applications, it is advantageous to have flexible devices. This can include solutions such as completely organic electronics or thinned/small silicon chips mounted on flexible substrates. Some of these devices, for implants, can be made to be bio-degradable so that the body absorbs the devices at the end of their useful lives. It is also essential to have good signal processing. In the case of implants, this should be low-power and efficient, due to the low levels of energy available. This Special Issue is designed to attract papers covering the whole range of the system, from sensors to read-out and further signal processing and communication. Aspects such as special packaging techniques and power systems are also 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.
