Role of Machine Learning Assisted Biosensors in Point-of-Care-Testing For Clinical Decisions.

Abstract

Point-of-Care-Testing (PoCT) has emerged as an essential component of modern healthcare, providing rapid, low-cost, and simple diagnostic options. The integration of Machine Learning (ML) into biosensors has ushered in a new era of innovation in the field of PoCT. This article investigates the numerous uses and transformational possibilities of ML in improving biosensors for PoCT. ML algorithms, which are capable of processing and interpreting complicated biological data, have transformed the accuracy, sensitivity, and speed of diagnostic procedures in a variety of healthcare contexts. This review explores the multifaceted applications of ML models, including classification and regression, displaying how they contribute to improving the diagnostic capabilities of biosensors. The roles of ML-assisted electrochemical sensors, lab-on-a-chip sensors, electrochemiluminescence/chemiluminescence sensors, colorimetric sensors, and wearable sensors in diagnosis are explained in detail. Given the increasingly important role of ML in biosensors for PoCT, this study serves as a valuable reference for researchers, clinicians, and policymakers interested in understanding the emerging landscape of ML in point-of-care diagnostics.
