Call for Papers

Flexible Electronics for Intelligent Health Monitoring

Submission deadline: Wednesday, 24 December 2025

Recent breakthroughs in bioresorbable materials, minimally invasive sensing architectures, and AI-driven physiological analytics are reshaping healthcare paradigms. This FlexMat special collection seeks cutting-edge research on flexible electronics that bridge real-time diagnostics with therapeutic interventions, emphasizing ethical deployment and human-device symbiosis.

Innovations may include implantable neural interfaces for neuromodulation, wearable optofluidic systems for biomarker detection, or mitochondrial-targeted bioelectronics for metabolic regulation. We particularly welcome studies addressing adaptive signal processing algorithms, light-activated drug delivery platforms, and self-powered implantable systems that overcome limitations in chronic disease management and tissue repair.

Submissions should explore scalable fabrication methods (e.g., 4D-printed bioelectronics) or computational models for predictive health analytics, with translational potential validated through in vivo/in vitro studies.


Topics for this call for papers include but are not restricted to:

  • Mitochondrial Informatics-Driven Health Monitoring: Wearable/Implantable sensors for mitochondrial metabolic biomarkers; microfluidic chips for single-cell multi-omics analysis; AI-powered integration of mitochondrial dynamics with disease progression
  • Flexible Brain-Computer Interfaces and Neural Modulation: Biomorphic electrodes for low-noise neural signal acquisition; closed-loop neuromodulation systems; optimization of device–tissue interfaces for long-term implantation.
  • Optical Theranostics and Flexible Bioprobes: Photo-responsive materials for targeted drug release; wearable optoacoustic imaging systems; intelligent probes/sensors for real-time detection of disease microenvironment
  • Soft Biosensors & Closed-loop Diagnosis: Flexible, stretchable biomaterials enable real-time sensing with high resilience, antifouling properties, and repeatability, supporting reliable diagnosis and therapeutic intervention
