Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce a new Special Issue, Towards Improved Health using Digital Sensors in an Environmental Monitoring System.
Sensor-enhanced environmental monitoring systems (EMS) can measure, monitor, and record various physical and chemical parameters, including location, air pressure, temperature, humidity, gas concentration, particulate matter (PM), dust, ultraviolet (UV), sound level, and other contextual elements. The use of digital sensors in environmental monitoring has become more prevalent, as they facilitate the transfer of data, data storage, and system interoperability. This enables shifting and spreading the EMS from stationary forecasting systems in metropolitan areas to portable systems for indoor air quality monitoring and wearable devices in the field of personalized healthcare. Furthermore, recent advances in paradigms such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, big data, and smart cities allow the implementation of highly accurate and robust environmental monitoring infrastructures.
In this Special Issue, we aim to provide scientists and engineers with innovative research findings on developing and applying digital sensors in environmental monitoring to achieve the goal of improved health. We welcome original research, visionary articles, and survey/review articles. Possible topics include but are not limited to the following subjects:
- Hardware design;
- Material science in digital sensors;
- Sensor calibration;
- Sensor network, IoT, and 5G;
- Signal processing;
- Data fusion;
- Machine learning/deep learning;
- Data management;
- System interoperability;
- System integration;
- System security.
We look forward to your valuable contributions!

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.
Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
