Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, microsensors and microsystems have increasingly become a part of people’s lives: research has focused on biomedical devices as well as on other sensory systems designed to interact with the human body. Miniaturized sensors and systems have been widely employed thanks to the spread of portable and wearable devices, smart homes, the Internet of Things (IoT), and telemedicine. Furthermore, the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic has increased interest in non-contact sensory systems applied to the human body, such as temperature sensors and proximity and occupancy detectors. In this framework, this Special Issue is interested in contributions on microsensors and microsystems interacting with the human body: such devices include but are not limited to biomedical systems, portable and wearable devices, temperature sensors, presence sensors, motion sensors, pressure sensors, chemical sensors, etc. Papers on any kind of sensor or system designed to interact with the human body are welcome.

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. Micromachines 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 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.
