Summary

This review paper examines recent developments in advanced materials for biological field-effect transistors (Bio-FETs), with emphasis on their potential in precision healthcare and biosensing. Bio-FETs represent an emerging transduction platform for detecting biomarkers and pathogens at point-of-care settings. The authors assess material innovations and device architectures that enhance sensitivity and clinical feasibility, though the review focuses on technological advancement rather than validated clinical outcomes.

UK applicability

Bio-FET technology is relevant to UK healthcare infrastructure development and diagnostics innovation, particularly for remote or near-patient testing. However, as a materials science review, it does not directly address UK farming systems, food production or soil health.

Key measures

Bio-FET sensitivity, selectivity, response time, material properties (graphene, nanowires, organic semiconductors), clinical applicability

Outcomes reported

This review synthesises advances in biological field-effect transistor materials and designs for biosensing applications. The study assessed material performance characteristics relevant to diagnostic accuracy and point-of-care deployment.
