摘要
‘Give a man a biosensor, and you enable him to unlock a world of cost-effective solutions for research, diagnosis, and personalized healthcare’. Biosensors have emerged as a game-changer in the realms of research sciences and healthcare, offering exceptional value for money. The integration of biosensors into these fields holds immense promise, empowering researchers and medical practitioners to unlock intricate mysteries in food and water safety, human biology, and health assessment. These state-of-the-art technologies are a breath of fresh air, revolutionizing disease detection and tracking to unprecedented levels, elevating the ability to monitor the body's response. They have become the linchpin of numerous cost-effective, highly efficient, and streamlined medical devices prevalent in modern healthcare. By harnessing the sensitivity and specificity of biosensors, healthcare professionals can hit the nail on the head, identifying even the subtlest biomarkers and indicators of various ailments, and enabling timely intervention and treatment. The superior quality of these biosensors ensures unrivaled diagnostic accuracy, leading to more reliable and effective healthcare outcomes. In a nutshell, biosensors have raised the bar, making research, public safety, and tailored healthcare options a walk in the park, ultimately enhancing overall health and well-being. Biosensors offer immense potential in medical diagnostics due to their user-friendly nature, scalability, and efficient manufacturing. With intelligent wearable features, they facilitate seamless health monitoring for the elderly, bridging the gap between self-care and healthcare providers. This exchange of medical information reduces interference and hospital visits, opening avenues in wellness, fitness, and athletics for consumers and commercial entities. This paper explores the advancements in Biosensors technology and their promising benefits in medicine, focusing on cardiovascular diseases and using informative diagrams. It examines fourteen key applications of Biosensors in the medical field, highlighting the integration of biomedical devices, apps, firmware, and advanced algorithms. These developments pave the way for innovative medical therapies, real-time evidence-based insights, customized solutions, and informed guidance, shaping a bright future for healthcare. © 2023 The Authors
