Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern approaches to healthcare research and patient care have come to demand the seamless handling of large data quantities. In this aspect, artificial intelligence approaches are growing in popularity as a means of big data utilization for the construction of neural networks with decision-making capabilities. Such approaches can currently be found in every corner of medicine; from classification and correspondence tasks in research to automated patient monitoring, and AI-assisted surgical devices to the creation of robust predictive models that allow the personalization of medical care. Correspondingly, the IoT concept is gaining an increasingly strong foothold in the world of medicine; interconnected biosensors, tele-monitoring systems, and cloud computing are all everyday parts of medical practice.
The scope of this Special Issue is to present current applications and future implications of machine learning and the IoT concept in all aspects of medicine. Beginning from current applications in basic and translational research (e.g., machine learning in genomics) to drug development, pathologic diagnostics, and diagnostic applications in medical imaging to population-level modeling. Original works describing novel applications, feasibility studies as well as review articles are solicited for the purposes of this Special Issue. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- AI and neural networks in basic and genomic research;
- Machine learning algorithms in cancer diagnosis;
- AI-assisted image diagnostics;
- Decision-making algorithms in multimodal patient care;
- IoT in patient monitoring;
- Surgical applications of machine learning networks;
- Unsupervised learning models in medical practice;
- Mixed reality (MR)-assisted surgery.

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.
