<div class="">Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Over the past decade, we have seen considerable developments in smart wearable devices and technology. The proliferation of devicesófrom fitness trackers and healthcare monitors to smart watches and mobile computingóhas been fuelled by a combination
of advances in underpinning technology and consumer demand/acceptance. However, despite its growing maturity, there remain numerous challenges in a broad range of areas that require research effort in order to further the technology.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To highlight some of the latest developments in this exciting and relevant field, we invite you to consider submitting a manuscript to our upcoming Special Issue ìWearable Smart Devicesî. Both research papers and review articles will be considered.
We welcome submissions spanning topics across sensor devices, wearable technologies, and embedded intelligence for smart wearable devices.</div>
