Electrochemical Biosensors for Clinical Biomarkers and Point-of-Care Diagnostics
This special issue belongs to the section “Biosensor and Bioelectronic Devices“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electrochemical biosensors play an increasingly central role in the transition toward decentralized healthcare, enabling rapid, low-cost, and portable detection of clinically relevant biomarkers. As point-of-care and near-patient testing become essential components of modern medical practice supported by advances in telemedicine, digital health, and home-based monitoring, the demand for clinically validated, robust, and miniaturized electrochemical systems continues to grow. This Special Issue focuses on electrochemical biosensing technologies designed for clinical biomarkers and point-of-care diagnostics. We welcome original research and reviews addressing innovations that improve analytical performance, clinical applicability, usability, and integration into real-world diagnostic workflows.
Topics of interest include
- Electrochemical sensors for disease biomarkers;
- Point-of-care electrochemical platforms, including portable, wearable, or home-based devices;
- Rapid testing systems for acute or chronic diseases;
- Integration of electrochemical biosensors with microfluidics, digital health platforms, or telemedicine networks;
- Clinical validation, benchmarking, or translational studies of electrochemical biosensors;
- AI- or algorithm-assisted interpretation of electrochemical signals for diagnostic decision-making.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the key advances that are bringing electrochemical biosensing from the laboratory into clinical practice, accelerating the development of accessible, real-time diagnostic technologies.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biosensors is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
