Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the rapidly changing global landscape of digital technologies, wearables have become ubiquitous, starting from simple fitbits that monitor fitness and health to complicated exosuits that restore movement. Wearable technologies have an important role in several significant areas such as healthcare, telemedicine, lifestyle, gaming, sports, fitness, environment, safety and prevention. The focus of this special topic will be on the design, control, mechanics, and backend processing of ML/AI of state-of-the-art wearable technologies. These technologies could include prosthetics, exoskeletons, soft robotics, wearable monitors, and other new technologies that fit the scope. 

The aim of this Special Issue is to compile the contributions of current leading researchers in the following areas: (1) the design and development of state-of-the-art wearable technologies, (2) the post processing and real time processing using artificial intelligence, deep learning and machine learning, and (3) the smart applications of these wearable technologies.

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.

Smart textiles have gained great interest from academia and industries alike, spanning interdisciplinary efforts from materials science, electrical engineering, art, design, and computer science. While recent innovation has been promising, unmet needs between the commercial and academic sectors are pronounced in this field, especially for electronic-based textiles, or e-textiles. In this review, we aim to address the gap by (i) holistically investigating e-textiles’ constituents and their evolution, (ii) identifying the needs and roles of each discipline and sector, and (iii) addressing the gaps between them. The components of e-textiles—base fabrics, interconnects, sensors, actuators, computers, and power storage/generation—can be made at multiscale levels of textile, e.g., fiber, yarn, fabric, coatings, and embellishments. The applications, current state, and sustainable future directions for e-textile fields are discussed, which encompasses health monitoring, soft robotics, education, and fashion applications.
