Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past few decades, smartphone-based imaging and sensing platforms have emerged as promising alternatives for health monitoring and medical diagnostics, offering practical features such as portability and cost-effectiveness, particularly in regions with limited access to healthcare facilities. Many of these applications leverage the ever-increasing penetration of smartphones in our life and have significantly improved built-in modules of smartphones, such as the processor chip, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor, and wireless connectivity. With the help of these embedded functions, smartphones have been coupled with various add-ons such as optical lenses and filters to bring a wide range of detection modalities, such as optical, electrochemical, and magnetic sensing, to the field. Images and videos captured by smartphone microscopy devices can be readily processed by custom developed smartphone applications for on-site bioanalysis.

In this Special Issue, we invite you to contribute original research articles and reviews on any aspects related to smartphone-based point-of-care diagnostics, including but not limited to device and assay development, time-dependent monitoring of health matrices, diagnosis of human diseases such as infectious diseases and cancer, as well as the detection of health-related threats in food or environmental samples.

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. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.

Abstract
We evaluated the efficacy of heart rate variability (HRV)-guided training in adolescent athletes during a 2-week, high altitude (≈1900 m) training camp. Sixteen middle- and long-distance runners (4 female/12 male, 16.9 ± 1.0 years, 65.44 ± 4.03 mL·kg−1·min−1) were [...] Read more.
We evaluated the efficacy of heart rate variability (HRV)-guided training in adolescent athletes during a 2-week, high altitude (≈1900 m) training camp. Sixteen middle- and long-distance runners (4 female/12 male, 16.9 ± 1.0 years, 65.44 ± 4.03 mL·kg−1·min−1) were divided into 2 matched groups, both of which received the same training plan, but one of which acquired postwaking HRV values that were used to tailor the training prescription. During the camp, seven athletes in the HRV-guided group combined for a total of 32 training adjustments, whereas there were only 3 runners combined for 14 total training adjustments in the control group. A significant group by time interaction (p < 0.001) for VO2max was driven by VO2max improvements in the HRV group (+2.8 mL·kg−1·min−1, +4.27%; pBonf = 0.002) that were not observed in the control condition (+0.8 mL·kg−1·min−1, +1.26%; pBonf = 0.643). After returning from the camp, all athletes in the HRV group set a personal best, and six out of eight achieved their best positions in the National Championship, whereas only 75% of athletes in the control group set a personal best and five out of eight achieved their best positions in the National Championship. These data provide evidence in support of HRV-guided training as a way to optimize training prescriptions in adolescent athletes. Full article
