Call for Papers

BSN 2026 is calling for full papers in the format of 4 page technical papers. Accepted papers, following the review round, will be presented at the conference and published in IEEE Xplore. For these full papers, no additional pages will be accepted, meaning additional page fees are not considered or available. Within this 4 page limit, all sections must be included, including references. 4 page papers are required to follow the conference template format, using A4 paper size: (IEEE Conference template). All submissions must be written in English. BSN adopts a single blind review process, allowing authors to include their names and affiliations in the submission.

BSN 2026 theme is “From Lab to Life: Scaling Intelligent Sensors for Personalized Health Ecosystems”. As a flagship conference from the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (IEEE EMBS), the conference, located this year in Porto, Portugal, promises to be a major gathering of academia, industry, and healthcare leaders to discuss cross discipline and highly selected topics mainly, but not only, from Wearable Biomedical Sensors and Systems.

Highlights:

Topics of Interest included but are not limited to:

  • Novel digital health solutions (i.e., sensors and algorithms) for diagnosis, disease progress tracking, and self management.
  • Sensors and systems for digital health, wellness, and athletics.
  • Conformable decoders: unintrusive, comfortable, self powered sensors and systems.
  • Flexible, stretchable, and imperceptible electronics for sensors and systems.
  • Contact less solutions for human sensing.
  • Power optimization for implantable and wearable sensors and systems.
  • Wearable robotics systems for digital healthcare.
  • Signal processing, machine learning, deep learning, and decision support algorithms.
  • Adaptive, personalized intervention systems by closing the loop between technologies and humans.
  • Security, privacy, and trust in digital health technologies.
  • Optimization and personalization for digital health technologies and outcomes.
  • Human centered design for digital healthcare to address real world stakeholder needs.
  • Emerging topics such as Agentic AI and LLMs for computational health.

Please note that although OpenReview will be used as the submission platform, the review process will remain confidential, and reviews and comments during evaluation will not be publicly disclosed online.

Research Integrity:

Authors are responsible for ensuring that all submitted work complies with applicable ethical, legal, and institutional requirements. This includes, where relevant, approval or determination by the appropriate ethics or institutional review body, informed consent procedures, data protection and privacy safeguards, and any other requirements applicable to research involving human participants, animals, or sensitive data. A formal ethics statement is not required as a separate mandatory element at initial submission. Where authors consider it appropriate, relevant information may be included in the manuscript, provided that the submission remains within the 4-page limit. In all cases, compliance with the relevant ethical and regulatory requirements remains the responsibility of the authors.

Authors are also fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and scientific integrity of their submissions. The use of automatic writing assistance or generative AI tools may be acceptable for limited support in language or editing, but such tools must not be used to fabricate results, distort scientific claims, generate false references, manipulate images or data, or misrepresent the authors’ actual work. Any use of such tools must remain under full human oversight and must not compromise the truthfulness, traceability, or integrity of the scientific record. AI tools cannot be listed as authors, and authors remain accountable for all content submitted to the conference.
