Abstract:
Physiological monitoring has become an inherently interdisciplinary field, merging advances in engineering, chemistry, biology, medicine, and data analytics to create sensors that continuously track the vital signals of the body. These developments are enabling more personalized and preventive healthcare, as wearable (bio)sensors and intelligent algorithms can detect subtle physiological changes in real-time. In the Special Issue 'Advances in (Bio)Sensors for Physiological Monitoring', researchers from diverse domains contributed 18 papers showcasing cutting-edge sensor technologies and applications for health and performance monitoring. In this review, we summarize these contributions by grouping them into logical themes based on their focus: (1) cardiovascular and autonomic monitoring, (2) glucose and metabolic monitoring, (3) wearable sensors for movement and musculoskeletal health, (4) neurophysiological monitoring and brain-computer interfaces, and (5) innovations in sensor technology and methods. This thematic organization highlights the breadth of the research, spanning from fundamental sensor hardware to data-driven analytics, and underscores how modern (bio)sensors are breaking traditional boundaries in healthcare.
