Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of wearable and non-invasive sensors is rapidly evolving, bringing transformative innovations to healthcare, fitness, and beyond. These cutting-edge technologies enable the continuous monitoring of physiological, biochemical, and environmental parameters, offering real-time insights for personalized health management and lifestyle optimization. From wearable devices like smart patches, rings, and glasses to non-invasive methods such as sweat, saliva, and tear sensing, these advancements are redefining the boundaries of sensor technology. They not only minimize user discomfort but also improve accessibility and usability for widespread applications.
This Special Issue seeks to highlight the latest breakthroughs and applications in wearable and non-invasive sensing technologies. It aims to bring together original research and reviews that address the challenges and opportunities in this multidisciplinary field. Researchers are invited to submit contributions on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Novel sensor materials for enhanced sensitivity and durability;
- Innovative fabrication techniques for the scalable and cost-effective production of wearable sensors;
- Non-invasive approaches for detecting critical biomarkers;
- Advanced device designs for seamless integration with the human body;
- Energy-efficient systems for prolonged use in wearable applications;
- Data analytics and machine learning for improved accuracy and predictive capabilities;
- Applications in healthcare for disease management, rehabilitation, and preventive care;
- Human-machine interaction systems enabled by wearable or non-invasive technologies.
