Key aspects of biosensing for instant screening tests

Abstract

The landscape of biosensing technologies has undergone a significant transformation, with a particular emphasis on instant screening tests (ISTs) tailored for home and community settings. These tests play a crucial role in enabling rapid detection, monitoring, and management of a varied range of health conditions, including infectious diseases, chronic illnesses, and environmental exposures. This letter provides a brief exploration of the various key aspects of biosensing methodologies and technologies designed to address the unique challenges and opportunities inherent in ISTs. By exploring crucial advancements and emerging trends, it highlights the transformative potential of these innovations in enhancing healthcare accessibility and empowering individuals to take proactive control of their well-being.
