Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on new approaches in the area of wireless sensor networks for home monitoring. A wide range of sensors (e.g., accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, BLE) are now available in wearable devices such as smartwatches and activity wristbands, providing data that can be used to continuously monitor users’ activity. Developing monitoring systems that work at users’ homes is a challenging task that will open ways for a new paradigm aimed at enabling safer home environments that seek to promote elderly people or people with disabilities benefiting from more independent living in their own homes. These systems are expected to provide communication technology-based services such as proactively monitoring of users and environments, smart control of physiological measures, or detection of abnormal situations. Some possible applications of interest for this Special Issue are sensors and techniques for monitoring people at home, unintrusive indoor localization, assessment of gait, balance, and postural transitions, physical activity patterns, life-space mobility, age-related chronic diseases/syndromes, etc.

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.
