Dear Colleagues,

Microsystems have played a vital role in many advancements in the medical field. New opportunities for miniaturized sensors have led to many new applications. In the field of in-vitro devices, microsystems have enabled the use of smaller samples and led to shorter measurement times. In vivo devices can be divided into three categories: surface devices; externally communicating internal devices; and implants. All come with their own requirements and challenges. In many of these applications, the addition of intelligence into the sensors system can have great benefits. For example, minimizing power consumption in many applications. Hardware can achieve a reduction in power; when wireless transmission is used, the local intelligence can make decisions about what information should be sent and when. The same is the case for plasters for sensing. These are used to measure a number of parameters and send this information to a local device, such as mobile phones.

This Special Issue aims to highlight the contribution and potential contribution of intelligent microsystems to the medical field.

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.
