Sensors and Diagnostics

Critical advances in sensors and their application to monitoring and medical diagnostics.

Editor-in-Chief: Xueji Zhang

Open Access: Gold

Sensors and Diagnostics journal cover

Sensors and Diagnostics is a gold open-access journal publishing innovative and high-impact research on sensing technologies and diagnostic systems. The journal focuses on studies that explore novel materials, cutting-edge detection principles, and significant advances in established devices, particularly those demonstrating in situ or real-world testing.

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.
