Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The use of remote monitoring systems plays a decisive role in the deployment of eHealth solutions. The use of innovative sensors, reliable telecommunications infrastructures, and advanced diagnosis methodologies allows for healthcare to be extended outside the hospital, supporting healthcare services in a more proactive manner. In practice, permanent monitoring of the patients, continuous assessment of physiological parameters, prompt diagnosis, and early prediction of possible critical events are possible.
This Special Issue will focus on recent developments in the field of personal remote monitoring systems (pHealth), from non-obtrusive methods for acquisition of bio-signals and physiological parameters, to advances in bio-signal analysis and data processing algorithms, to the implementation and the identification of innovative pHealth solutions.
Possible contributions may include continuous easy-to-use bio-signals measurement; intelligent techniques and advanced algorithms to process and analyze collected data, in particular fusion methodologies that are able to deal with dynamic interactions and different sources of information (e.g., bio-signals, vital parameters, and contextual information); and new applications and trends of monitoring, diagnosis, prediction, and decision-making in the field of pHealth.

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.
