Special Issue Information
Dear colleagues,
Monitoring vital signs using continuous and wireless sensors is an area that is gaining traction, and reports indicate that such sensors and systems possess a high sensitivity for detecting important deviations in vital signs. This includes hospitalized patients that are not in ICU or other high-dependency units, and the monitoring of vital signs may continue after hospital discharge. The overall aim of vital sign monitoring is to increase patient safety and reduce complications and readmissions, but significant numbers of alarms arise as a result of this increased monitoring. Analyses of how to interpret the board data streams of vital signs are therefore key to the implementation of these new technologies. Furthermore, modalities other than the traditional vital signs (blood pressure, oxygen saturation, etc.) such as blood glucose, lactate, etc., may provide even better continuous predictions of upcoming complications.
This Special Issue calls for research articles covering, but not limited to, clinical investigations of patient data in or out of hospital with the aim of describing vital sign deviations in specific settings; describing algorithms for vital sign interpretation; validating new vital sign sensors; validating the clinical impact of using continuous vital sign sensors; and addressing the existing literature on the subject.

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.
