Circadian clock is an internal timekeeping mechanism that controls most of the body’s functions. The suprachiasmatic nucleus is the master regulator of biological clock that regulates the function of various organs such as brain, liver, kidney, and heart, to name a few. Disruption of circadian clock either due to shift work, jet lag, or severely delayed sleep phase significantly increases the risk of developing various diseases such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and mental disorders [2-4]. This suggests that circadian clock-controlled actions play essential roles in human physiology and behavior. The liver as an independent circadian oscillator, possibly entrained by food timing. There is a vast need for additional research in this area, especially as it impacts shift work. Since disruption in the biological clock is associated with a variety of human diseases, restoring the circadian clock can help with the treatment or prevention of several diseases. Restoration of circadian clock has been shown to improve the clinical symptoms of oxidative stress and inflammation [5].

Over the past several decades, the development of circadian rhythm monitoring has been limited in part due to a lack of objective tools for continuous, simple, non-invasive quantification. The development of wearable sensor devices and mathematical models for the processing of big data will aid in accurately quantifying circadian disruption. Such techniques are important in precision medicine to be able to detect healthy lifestyles and diagnose and treat a variety of diseases. Wearable devices involve an attachment or a sensor placed directly on the body (e.g., wristband), or are attached to or embedded in the clothing. These devices directly track body movements or biometric information. A continuous biometric screening can help to track the health effects of fluctuations in the circadian rhythm. Strategies to restore circadian rhythm using the wearable devices can lead to new therapeutic interventions. Thus, measurement of the regulatory factors such as light, darkness, melatonin, and meal time can be used in conjunction with the rapid development of information and communication technology to treat many human diseases. The journal Chronobiology in Medicine was launched to emphasize the importance of chronobiology in the medical field. This new journal promises to become the primary platform for researchers to publish studies on all aspects of chronobiology. The aim of Chronobiology in Medicine is to be the premier venue to publish high quality research in the field of chronobiology, to lead the way to exciting discoveries in chronobiology, and to shape the future of medicine.
