Nanocomposite Biosensors for Healthcare Applications examines the critical role of nanocomposites in advancing biosensor technology for clinical and biomedical applications. The book provides a single reference point, covering the design, fabrication, unique properties, and diverse healthcare applications of nanocomposite biosensors. A detailed review of a range of nanocomposites is offered, including graphene, gold nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and quantum dots. In addition, various biosensors and their benefits are assessed, such as wearable biosensors, lab-on-a-chip systems, and point-of-care devices, with key healthcare applications in managing diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and infectious diseases thoroughly explored.

This book also addresses regulatory, sustainability, and commercialization challenges, providing a detailed overview of how nanocomposites are reshaping diagnostics and healthcare. It is a valuable reference for researchers and academics in materials science, biomedical engineering, and pharmaceutical science, and may also appeal to healthcare professionals interested in nanocomposites and innovative biosensors for various clinical applications.
