If you have any questions about the journal or the collection, please email us. We would be happy to answer them. One of the lessons learned during the pandemic is that non-experts can effectively operate simple diagnostic devices, blurring the boundaries of traditional healthcare. The last decade has witnessed an explosion in the development of point-of-care devices, which are now an invaluable part of the diagnostic toolbox. Aiming to capture and consolidate as many areas of sensor and biosensor development as possible, in a single place, this themed issue will compile contributions focusing on some of the most common health conditions, ranging from infectious diseases to cancer. While lab-based sensing and traditional analytical approaches are extensive and extremely useful, the submissions in this themed issue will highlight innovative technologies that can be used to detect analytes of interest using a myriad of transduction methods. Specifically, the phenomena that will be exploited for detection include, but are not limited to:
The papers in this themed collection will highlight how methodologies can be engineered to aid in the diagnostic and treatment workflow, in such a way that these assays can be easily performed by those that have limited to no scientific training, and at the point of need. |
