Although wearable optical biosensors have evolved significantly, their long-term clinical deployment remains limited by mechanical degradation, signal drift, biofouling, energy constraints, and poor integration with intelligent healthcare infrastructure. These issues are especially acute in the aged and disabled, when constant, dependable, and tailored monitoring is critical for proactive disease treatment. As a result, next-generation sensing technologies must progress beyond passive data collection toward self-adaptive systems capable of maintaining analytical accuracy while supporting patient-specific clinical interpretation and clinician-supervised decision-making. This perspective presents an overview of self-adaptive nanophotonic metasurfaces as the sensing foundation for Living Digital Twins (LDTs) in personalized healthcare. To create an intelligent sensing ecosystem, the proposed framework combines flexible plasmonic, localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), artificial intelligence, internet of nano things (IoNT) connectivity, and individualized digital twin analytics. The proposed framework combines continuous multimodal biomarker sensing with patient-specific physiological modelling to support longitudinal updating of digital representations. Edge intelligence enables low-latency signal processing, while adaptive analytics may improve sensing stability, calibration, and patient-specific interpretation. The integration of adaptive nanophotonic sensing with digital twins therefore represents a prospective approach for supporting early identification of physiological deterioration, individualized risk assessment, and clinician-supervised treatment planning in aging and disabled populations.","PeriodicalId":63,"journal":{"name":"Analyst","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2026-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148980640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A major limitation of newborn screening for IEM is the lack of matrix-matched dried blood spot (DBS) quality control (QC) materials in clinical laboratories. Herein, we developed DBS QC materials for IEM and investigated their recovery, homogeneity, and stability. Four concentration levels of DBS materials were prepared by spiking 9 amino acids, 6 acylcarnitines, and succinylacetone into a hemoglobin solution, which was dialyzed prior to preparing DBS. Hemoglobin solutions containing the predetermined quantities of metabolites were spotted, dried, and packaged. Isotope-dilution mass spectrometry was employed to estimate the endogenous contents and validate the final concentrations of alanine (Ala), proline (Pro), valine (Val), leucine (Leu), ornithine (Orn), methionine (Met), phenylalanine (Phe), arginine (Arg), citrulline (Cit), carnitine (C0), acetylcarnitine (C2), glutarylcarnitine (C5DC), octanoylcarnitine (C8), decanoylcarnitine (C10), dodecanoylcarnitine (C12), and succinylacetone (SA). The recovery, homogeneity, and post-preparation short-term stability of the DBS materials were also evaluated using an MS/MS assay.

Consequently, developing fast and accurate diagnostic tools is essential for effective early diagnosis and disease management. Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) is recognized as a valuable biomarker for predicting disease severity and mortality in cardiovascular disease, making it a promising target for developing a detection kit for early heart failure diagnosis. Recently, the CRISPR-Cas12a system has been increasingly used for quick and sensitive nucleic acid detection. However, its application in protein detection remains limited. In this study, we combined nanotechnology-mediated protein capture with the CRISPR-Cas12a system and developed a fluorescence-based method for rapid and sensitive detection of sST2. The presence of sST2 triggers the formation of a ternary complex, which can activate the trans-cleavage activity of Cas12a, resulting in cleavage of the response DNA single strand and the production of a fluorescent signal. Importantly, when tested on serum samples, this method can effectively distinguish patients with heart failure from healthy controls. This method offers a promising alternative to traditional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), with potential advantages in operational simplicity and detection speed.
