Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “AI/ML-Enabled Biosensing: Shaping the Future of Disease Detection,” critically examines the convergence of biosensor technologies with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to revolutionize the field of diagnostic science. Traditional diagnostic approaches often face limitations in sensitivity, speed, and accessibility. Emerging digital biosensors—ranging from electrochemical and optical platforms to wearable and implantable devices—offer real-time, high-throughput detection of clinically relevant biomarkers from minimally invasive samples.
When coupled with AI/ML algorithms, these systems enable advanced signal processing, noise reduction, pattern recognition, and predictive analytics, dramatically enhancing diagnostic accuracy and decision support. This Special Issue highlights interdisciplinary innovations across material science, microfluidics, data science, and clinical medicine that are driving this field forward.
Key topics include AI-integrated point-of-care devices, adaptive biosensor platforms, cloud-based diagnostics, and data privacy and security in digital health. Contributions critically address both the transformative potential and the current challenges, such as standardization, validation, and the interpretability of ML models, as well as regulatory hurdles.
By bringing together research at the interface of biosensing technology and computational intelligence, this issue aims to map a strategic path for deploying smart, accessible, and personalized diagnostic tools that will redefine early disease detection and management in the coming decade.
The scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:
- AI/ML-Integrated Biosensing Systems
– Development of biosensors enhanced by machine learning for signal processing, classification, and predictive diagnostics. - Smart and Wearable Biosensors
– Design and application of wearable, implantable, and point-of-care biosensors for real-time, continuous health monitoring. - Microfluidics and Lab-on-a-Chip Devices
– Integration of biosensors with microfluidic platforms for multiplexed, high-sensitivity disease detection in miniaturized formats. - Computational Modeling and Diagnostic Algorithms
– Application of deep learning, neural networks, and federated learning to analyze biosensor data and generate diagnostic insights. - Clinical Applications and Case Studies
– Use of digital biosensing and AI tools in detecting infectious diseases, cancer, neurological disorders, metabolic diseases, and more.
