Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The recent growth in communication technologies, smart medical devices, and low-powered circuits has empowered a new generation of healthcare, namely, wireless body area networks (WBANs), which maintain real-time updates of health records through the Internet. Each sensor node in WBANs carries critical information; therefore, reliability and security are paramount requirements for these networks.
The main goal of this Special Issue is to address novel advancements based on innovative modern concepts related to distributed healthcare technologies and applications using WBANs. This Special Issue seeks the latest contributions and reviews from academia and industry based on their current research works or projects relevant to offering security and reliability solutions for WBANs. The topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- End-to-end security frameworks and architectures for healthcare;
- HW/SW threat detection and risk analysis in WBANs;
- Reliable intra/inter-WBANs protocols;
- Cryptographic/biosignal based security techniques for healthcare;
- AI/ML/DL concepts for protecting healthcare;
- Novel strategies for wellbeing and resilience;
- Reliability forecasting mechanisms for WBANs;
- Security and confidentiality of medical information transmission;
- Secure health information management in WBANs;
- Software testing approaches for reliable communication in WBANs;
- Decentralized schemes for trust management in healthcare;
- Adaptive security approaches for healthcare;
- Methods for addressing the unreliability of local devices

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.
