Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this period of emergency, due to the Sars-Cov2 virus pandemic, the scientific world has begun to examine how to effectively diagnose and track disease without the need for hospital facilities and stimulating people’s self-awareness. Another objective is to reduce the burden on healthcare facilities and staff.
Within this framework, the latest advances in wearable technologies are allowing the non-invasive collection of a huge variety of physiological and environmental data.
These advances in Wearable 2.0 do not only consist of electronics innovation, but also in algorithms, textile materials, and design processes, which can lead to a more invisible, but simultaneously capable and intelligent wearable system. These systems can integrate different data from different sources, benefitting user health and well-being.
This Special Issue, "Wearables: Systems, Circuits, Material, and Design", aims to highlight several of the latest developments in this specific field. Both research papers and review articles will be considered. We welcome submissions spanning topics spanning the design of novel sensors for wearable technologies, system and algorithm development, and any novel methodology aiming to improve wearable design.

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. Materials 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.
