Abstract

Biosensors play a pivotal role in health monitoring, offering real-time and accurate detection of various physiological parameters crucial for disease diagnosis, management, and prevention. This review delves into the burgeoning field of biosensors, focusing specifically on the utilization of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials for enhanced monitoring capabilities. Nanomaterials, with their unique properties and functionalities, have revolutionized biosensor technology, enabling sensitive, selective, and versatile detection platforms. Hybrid nanomaterials, formed by integrating multiple nanocomponents, further augment biosensor performance by synergistically combining the advantages of different nanomaterials. This review comprehensively explores the fundamentals of biosensors, elucidating the principles, types, and components critical for their operation. It then delves into the role of nanomaterials in biosensor development, highlighting their inherent advantages and challenges. Subsequently, the focus shifts to hybrid nanomaterials, detailing their synthesis methods, properties, and advantages in biosensing applications. Furthermore, the review elucidates the diverse applications of hybrid nanomaterial-based biosensors across medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food safety, and emerging fields. Recent advancements and trends in hybrid nanomaterial synthesis, integration with emerging technologies, and commercialization prospects are discussed, underscoring the continuous evolution of biosensor technology. Challenges and future directions in regulatory, scalability, specificity, and personalized healthcare realms are also deliberated, aiming to steer future research efforts towards addressing critical gaps and advancing biosensor capabilities. In conclusion, this review underscores the indispensable role of biosensors in health monitoring and the promising potential of multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials in shaping the future of biosensor technology for improved healthcare outcomes.
