Sensors and Diagnostics

Scope

Our scope spans interdisciplinary applications, including biomedical research as well as food and environmental monitoring. Contributions that advance digital health and data integration through sensor technology are also encouraged.

Key topics include:

• Biosensors and chemical sensors: Novel approaches to biological and chemical detection, including intracellular and cell-based sensors, wearable devices, and environmental sensors.
• Physical and physiological sensors: Technologies for physiological monitoring, including wireless and implantable sensors for vital signs and neural activity.
• Microfluidics and analytical microsystems: Lab-on-a-chip systems, micro total analysis systems (µTAS), and chemometric platforms that enhance analytical precision in diagnostics.
• Molecular and imaging diagnostics: Advanced diagnostic methods, including LFA, LAMP and ELISA, and imaging techniques like MRI, PET or SPECT for sensitive and accurate testing.
• Digital health and data management: Integrated platforms that combine sensors with data analytics for comprehensive monitoring and diagnostics.

Sensors and Diagnostics welcomes contributions that drive impactful advances, offering practical solutions to pressing global challenges across these diverse fields.

I became Editor-in-Chief of Sensors & Diagnostics because whilst there are journals that publish research on either sensors or diagnostics, this new journal is the first to cover both fields.
