It serves as a valuable platform for innovation, enabling the creation of high-performance, affordable, and smart diagnostic tools that can transform personalized healthcare and point-of-care monitoring.Introduces wearable biosensors for real-time, non-invasive healthcare monitoringExplains design, fabrication, sensing mechanisms, and classifications of wearable biosensorsDetails applications for detecting metabolites, inflammatory biomarkers, and wound healingHighlights integration of wireless technologies for continuous personalized health monitoringDiscusses commercialization opportunities and market potential for wearable biosensors

The aptasensor-based point-of-care testing devices offer high sensitivity and specificity They are cost-effective, provide rapid detection, and are stable in an adverse environment making them suitable tools for on-site detection of cancer biomarkers in medical and clinical settings.

The present book emphasizes the target-specific design, functionalization, and synthesis of aptamers for the fabrication of aptamer-based biosensors which can be employed for cancer biomarkers detection. This book will provide the reader with a timely update on the recent advances in aptamers-based point-of-care biosensors for cancer diagnostics.

It will also demonstrate the advantages of aptamers such as low cost, ease of design, synthesis, and modification, hence can be employed as a good alternative to antibody-based biosensors. It will also shed light on nanostructured materials and their significance for the construction of point-of-care aptasensors. Furthermore, it will describe in detail the integration of a point-of-care aptasensors-based sensing platform integrated with a wireless platform (internet-of-medical things) for intelligent disease management.

Key Features:

Highlights strategies for the synthesis of aptamers along with the design and fabrication of aptasensor-based point-of-care devices for early detection of cancer biomarkers and how these sensors can revolutionize the field of disease diagnostics. Details the technology of aptasensor-based point-of-care devices for disease diagnosis, with a specific focus on cancer diagnostic applications. Includes detailed information on the integration of aptasensor-based point-of-care technologies on the wireless platform internet-of-medical things for smart and intelligent disease management.

*Authors of the chapters of this book are well-known researchers in the field of cancer diagnostics and have incorporated specific case studies within their respective chapters.
