Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a Special Issue of Biosensors dedicated to exploring the latest advances in wearable and implantable bioelectronics for advanced biosensing and human health monitoring. This Special Issue will highlight novel approaches, technologies, and materials that enable the development of highly sensitive, selective, and minimally invasive biosensing platforms for continuous health monitoring and point-of-care diagnostics.
Recent years have seen remarkable progress in the field of wearable and implantable bioelectronics, with innovations in materials science, microfabrication, and bioengineering driving the development of increasingly sophisticated biosensors. These devices offer unprecedented opportunities for real-time, personalized health monitoring and early disease detection. However, challenges remain in areas such as biocompatibility, long-term stability, power management, and data interpretation. For this Special Issue, we welcome original research papers and comprehensive reviews that address these challenges and showcase cutting-edge developments in wearable and implantable biosensors. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Novel materials and fabrication techniques for flexible, stretchable, and biodegradable biosensors;
- Miniaturized electrochemical, optical, and mechanical biosensing platforms;
- Multimodal biosensors for simultaneous detection of multiple biomarkers;
- Integration of biosensors with wireless communication and data analytics technologies;
- Innovative approaches for non-invasive sampling and sensing of biomarkers;
- Self-powered biosensors and energy harvesting strategies for long-term operation.
We particularly encourage submissions that demonstrate the following:
- Integration of advanced materials (e.g., nanomaterials, biomimetic polymers, stimuli-responsive materials) with biosensing technologies;
- Novel sensing modalities beyond traditional electrochemical and optical approaches;
- Strategies for improving the long-term stability and reliability of implantable biosensors;
- Innovative solutions for overcoming biofouling and foreign body responses;
- Approaches for continuous, non-invasive monitoring of challenging biomarkers (e.g., hormones, neurotransmitters, metabolites).
By compiling papers from leading experts in materials science, flexible/stretchable electronics, and bioengineering, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the current state-of-the-art in wearable and implantable bioelectronics for health monitoring. We hope that this Special Issue will stimulate further innovation and cross-disciplinary collaboration in this rapidly evolving field.
We look forward to receiving your contributions to this exciting 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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
