Dear Colleagues,

Wearable sensors and electronic systems are increasingly entering people’s lives, enabling real-time monitoring of health conditions and parameters, physical activity, and much more. The peculiarities of such devices are their flexibility, low power dissipation, wireless connectivity, reduced invasiveness, manufacturing simplicity, and multi-functionality. New advanced materials and sensing methodologies are being studied for integration into flexible and wearable sensors with specific characteristics as well as new energy harvesting techniques to make the devices energetically autonomous. All these sensors need a suitable conditioning section for impedance matching and adapting the provided signal features to the designed acquisition system.

This Special Issue, Innovative Materials, Smart Sensors and IoT-Based Electronic Solutions for Wearable Applications, aims to bring together innovative developments and synergies related, but not limited, to the following topics:

- Electronic wearable solutions for IoT-based health monitoring applications;

- Wearable systems for bio-physical parameters detection: electronic issues;

- Wearable devices for assisting people with physical disabilities, active living, and rehabilitation;

-New materials and smart sensors for wearable applications;

-Less-battery Implantable devices;

-3D Printing Technology applied to wearable sensor development;

-Flexible sensors and actuators for wearable devices;

-Soft electronic for the signal conditioning applied ro wearable sensors;

- Energy harvesting systems for wearable applications: advances and open issues;

- Electronic wearable solutions for smart homes and workplaces;

- Low-power electronic solutions for signals acquisition/processing from wearable sensors;

- Embedded solutions and platforms for data processing: firmware issues and applications;

- Software development for wearable sensors and body sensors network.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 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.
