Recent advances in biosensor technology have led to the development of accurate and robust systems that can sense disease-dependent changes in analyte. These advancements have enabled faster diagnosis and treatment for various diseases. The invention of smart-responsive materials has opened new gates for next-generation biosensors, which can release the therapeutic payload upon environmental changes. These integrated systems provide increased therapeutic efficacy with reduced side effects, and a better perspective for biomedical applications. With further efforts, including comprehensive research and computational modeling, biosensing–drug delivery systems may become powerful tools for the treatment of chronic diseases.ChemistryApplied chemistryEngineeringBiomedical engineeringNanoscienceNanotechnologyBook Chapter55543660001093
