Background

Following Professor Fabiana Arduini’s focus session at Sensors 2025: "Next-Gen Miniaturized Biosensors: Toward Smart, Scalable, and Portable Sensing Systems." This session will highlight the latest advancements in miniaturized biosensor technologies, emphasizing strategies for enhancing sensor intelligence, scalability, and portability across a variety of applications. The session will also address challenges related to mass production, user accessibility, and real-time data processing, fostering discussion on translating laboratory breakthroughs into practical, market-ready solutions.

The field of biosensor technologies is undergoing rapid advancements, particularly in the miniaturization of systems that promise enhanced portability, scalability, and intelligence. Current developments seek to revolutionize healthcare, environmental monitoring, food safety, and industrial applications through innovative materials and device engineering techniques. These advancements are aimed at enabling rapid, reliable, and cost-effective detection that meets the diverse needs of real-world applications. Despite these strides, challenges remain in integrating these sophisticated systems into viable market-ready products.

This Research Topic aims to explore the creation of smart and scalable sensing systems through collaborative efforts that bridge the gap between laboratory research and practical application. The focus will be on developing wearable and implantable sensors, implementing real-time data processing techniques, and addressing the obstacles associated with mass production and user accessibility. The strategic goal is to transform state-of-the-art research into market-ready solutions that meet actual sensing needs in a wide array of fields.

To gather further insights into the multitude of considerations surrounding miniaturized biosensor technologies, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

- Miniaturized biosensor design and fabrication
- Portable and wearable sensing technologies
- Smart diagnostics and real-time monitoring
- Scalable sensor systems and mass production challenges
- Materials innovation and sensor integration
- Applications in healthcare, environment, food safety, and industry

We invite researchers to submit various article types, including original research, reviews, and perspectives, that offer comprehensive coverage on the progress and challenges within this evolving domain.
