Applications of Polymers in Biosensors-based Medical Devices

Abstract: A biosensor-based medical device refers to a device that integrates polymers to detect and measure specific biomolecules for the treatment of disease. Biosensors are now widely used in biological diagnostics and a wide range of other sectors, such as disease treatment and progression tracking, environmental and agricultural monitoring, food safety, drug development, and biomedical and forensics research. This may be the result of concurrent developments in transdisciplinary research, microelectronics technology development, and polymer chemistry. This review summarizes the significance of polymeric materials in contemporary diagnostic techniques employed in healthcare. The study examines polymeric material advancements in the design and manufacture of biosensing agents, substrates, and components, with a focus on contemporary biosensor platforms in biosensing health and disease applications, along with their drawbacks.
