Special Issue "Intelligence Flexible Sensing Devices for Healthcare Monitoring"

Dear Colleagues,

The emergence of various deadly diseases and their high-cost treatments has encouraged researchers and scientists to consider alternatives for sensing and anticipating basic parameter variations, such as glucose, pressure, albumin, haemoglobin, etc. Such an ideology would be more engraved by flexible or wearable compact biosensors concurrent between sensing mechanisms to the surface of the human body. Wearable technology primarily depends upon physical and chemical sensors attached to the body to sense body temperature, pressure, motion, biomolecules, ions, electrical stimulations, etc. Newly developed stretchable, phase-change, flexible and biomaterials play a vital role in the design and practical realization of wearable devices. In noble materials, excelling compact intelligent sensor devices mostly attract researchers wishing to utilize them in many applications, such as in defect sensors in civil engineering, brain emotion signal-detecting sensors, eye liquid dryness sensors, etc. Applications in computational reconfigurable biosensors or intellectual-property-assisted sensors have emerged as mainstays of smart IoT-based healthcare systems. The evolvement of flexible or reconfigurable compact biosensors resolves challenges including the prediction and treatment of numerous diseases, e.g., mental disorders (particularly schizophrenia, depression, and dementia), liver chronic infection, myocardial infarction (MI), heart diseases, viral infections (COVID-19), etc.

This Special Issue aims to highlight recent advances in computational intelligence and machine-learning-based biosensors, with the purpose of inviting original research articles addressing security and sustainability issues concerning advanced intelligent biosensors. We would like to invite researchers to submit their state-of-the-art technologies and ideas covering all aspects of computational intelligence-based wearable devices for healthcare applications. Review articles are also welcome.

Submissions should address certain issues in wearable devices for health monitoring, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

• IoT biosensors using computational intelligence;
• Computational intelligence and AI-based biosensing devices;
• Wearable electrochemical biosensors;
• Two-dimensional material compact biosensors;
• Wearable photonics biosensors;
• Neurophotonics biosensors;
• Wearable self-powered biosensors;
• Wearable reconfigurable biosensors;
• Biosensors and chemical sensors for continuous health monitoring.

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. Biosensors 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 2700 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.
