Med-X - Call for Papers: Special Issue on Soft bioelectronics for Personalized Healthcare

Call for Papers

Introduction:  The practice of human health care may be on the cusp of a revolution, driven by an unprecedented level of personalization enabled by advances in technology, specifically, the emerging soft bioelectronic devices that could provide qualitative physiological information and clinical-grade data for physicians.

Soft bioelectronics is a fast-growing interdisciplinary research field that takes advantage of soft materials and electronic devices for the applications at the interface of biology and electronics. It could hold flexible/wearable/implantable/stretchable features, sensing/therapy/ energy/capabilities, and self-healable/ biodegradable/bioabsorbable properties. The soft bioelectronics community covers a variety of research domains including healthcare devices, on-body energy storage/harvesting technologies, biocompatible interfaces, wireless communications, and body area network. The soft bioelectronics is believed to enable the change of current reactive & disease-centric healthcare system to a personalized model with a focus on disease prevention & health promotion. In this special issue, we will systematically introduce various soft bioelectronic devices based on both applied physics and analytical chemistry for human healthcare.

Articles will undergo all of the journal's standard peer review and editorial processes outlined in its submission guidelines. (this opens in a new tab)
