Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A significant percentage of people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or other medical diseases (such as spine degenerative disc disease) have experienced long term symptoms that are wide ranging in nature and severity. Therefore, there is a critical need to develop wearable or implantable sensor systems that can help monitor and treat these symptoms before, during, and after surgical treatment.
This Special Issue, entitled Wearable/Implantable Sensor (Array) Systems for Medical Applications, aims to bring together innovative developments and synergies on the following topics (without being limited to them):
- Novel material or design for wearable sensors: IMU sensor (motion capture), EKG sensors, capacitive sensors, heart rate, skin temperature, blood oxygen, blood pressure, breath rate, voice record;
- Novel material or design for implantable sensors: spine sensor array, hip joint sensor, etc.;
- Machine learning algorithm or new control system for wearable/implantable sensor systems: ANN, reinforcement learning, etc.;
- New medical application with wearable/implantable sensor (array) sytems: COVID, spine, knee, limbs, hip joint;
- New medical application with implantable sensor (array) sytems (human–machine interface): brain, blood, cancer, spine, knee, limbs, hip joint;
- 3D printed wearable/implantable sensor array;
- Biomechanical study of implantable sensors and the human body;
- IoT systems for patients and equipment in smart hospitals;
- Multi-sensor data integration/fusion and mining for medical application;
- Robotics in smart hospital.
We look forward to your great contributions, or those of your colleagues, enriching the contents of this Special Issue.

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.
