Detection and measurement of physiological relevant analytes is an essential step for diagnosis and monitoring of health and fitness conditions. The integration of lithography and microfabrication has allowed the miniaturization of medical devices, biosensors and applications in the fields of biological, environmental science, sports and fitness through clinical medicine. The miniaturization of biosensors has enabled new discoveries, diagnoses and treatments by creating novel devices, systems, and analyses. Biosensors are biophysical devices which can detect the presence of specific analytes (e.g. sugars, proteins, hormones, pollutants, toxins). They are also capable of measuring the quantities of these specific substances in the environment and human body. For example, diabetes is a health condition where biosensors have made a significant contribution. According to the National Report from the Center of Disease Control and Prevention, diabetes affects more than $29 million people in the USA alone. The total medical cost for diabetics is around $245 billion dollars a year. Glucose biosensors are a great tool helping diabetic patients to monitor and manage their disease more efficiently and effectively. New advances in these devices such as integrating redundancy and alternative sensing, algorithms and data analytics has allowed for better and more accurate monitoring and treatment of the disease.
