Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The future landscape of healthcare is certainly going to be revolutionized by wearable technology, transforming the way medical care is delivered across various application fields (e.g., healthcare facilities, homes, indoor and outdoor spaces, etc.). This transformation is driven by rapid technological advancements that cover the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), cutting-edge algorithms, telemedicine, and genomics, leading to a more efficient, accessible, and customized healthcare system and improving patient outcomes and the overall quality of healthcare delivery.
From wearables measuring physiological signals and assessing human behaviour to body sensors monitoring specific biomarkers, these devices promise to revolutionize patient care by developing services such as prevention, early diagnosis, real-time intervention, and personalized treatments.
This Special Issue aims to gather and publish research contributions (e.g., original articles, reviews, etc.) that highlight the development and adoption of innovative measurement systems involving wearable sensors, the metrological characterization of such sensors, and brand-new measurement procedures that have the potential to significantly impact the healthcare system.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
