Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ambulatory monitoring of the environmental state and physiological parameters of humans for wellbeing and medical applications needs new sensors with reliable precision, miniaturization, and low power/resource consumption for sustainable applications in terms of ecological context. This actual challenge lies not only in sensor technology but also in signal processing algorithms considering noise presence, uncertainty, and sparse modalities/channels. Other challenges are linked to developing low-consumption and robust AI approaches potentially trained on reduced biomedical databases.
In this Special Issue, researchers are invited to submit contributions describing a new approach for sensing in E-Health applications including the innovative technology of sensors and hardware architecture, multimodal and multichannel signal processing algorithms, and robust and optimized AI. All proposed contributions should also be precise in the proposed sustainable measures considering their application.
Potential topics include, but are not limited, to the following:
- Reusable/low resource smart sensors;
- Sensor fusion algorithms and input dimensionality reduction;
- Sparse and robust multichannel signal processing;
- Low consumption and robust AI algorithms;
- Possible applications: ambulatory monitoring, chronic disease or post-surgery monitoring, physiological state detection (ex: sleep, stress, rare event detection), telemedicine.

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.
