Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Currently, the detection of vital signs and activity via wearable devices is a topic of extensive research within both the academic and industrial communities. These devices are being utilized and developed for a broad array of scenarios, extending beyond the clinical environment to provide more universally accessible data for various applications. These applications include the assessment of cardiovascular systems, sleep statuses, emotions, mobility, and daily activities, among others. Despite their ongoing development, smart wearable systems present numerous challenges and opportunities for discussion, especially within the context of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT). This Special Issue aims to explore these systems and applications, specifically focusing on the detection of wearable vital signs and activities.
Submissions should encompass, although not be confined to, the following topics:
- Sensors, circuits, and systems designed for the detection of wearable vital signs and activities.
- Signal processing methods specifically tailored to addressing the challenges inherent in wearable scenarios, including but not limited to motion artifacts and low signal-to-noise ratios.
- Applications developed based on the wearable detection of vital signs and/or activity.
- Interdisciplinary research utilizing wearable vital signs and activity detection systems
It is imperative to note that the primary focus of this Special Issue is on systems and applications designed for humans. Systems intended for laboratory animals, pets, and other non-human subjects are beyond the scope of this consideration.

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. Technologies is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1600 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.
