Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Smart biosensors are analytical devices that merge biologically derived materials or biomimics with a physicochemical transducer or transducing microsystem, which can be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, piezoelectric, magnetic, or micromechanic. Over the past few decades, the development of smart biosensors has emerged as a thriving research frontier in engineering. Moreover, it has significantly influenced the advancement of next-generation diagnostic tools and intelligent bio-devices. Unlike the conventional biosensors, the smart biosensors go a step further by integrating sensing elements, processing units, and communication interfaces into one device, such devices can collect, analyze, and transmit data in real time. with some even demonstrating self-diagnostics, auto-calibration, or detecting patterns and anomalies over time.
This Special Issue aims to highlight the most recent advances and novel innovative research outcomes related to the design and development of smart biosensors, promoting interdisciplinary collaboration to address intricate challenges in sectors such as healthcare, bio-integrated devices, and smart technologies. Topics of interest include of this special issue include but are not limited to novel materials, micro, nano fabrication, wearable and implantable platforms, AI-enabled sensing, real-time monitoring, and multifunctional biosensing systems.
We welcome papers reporting scientific, clinical, or technological advances in the development and application of smart biosensors for areas such as diagnostics, monitoring, biomedical applications, and strategies to optimize outcomes and performance of the biosensors.
