Abstract
The art of sensing the variables in biological systems has posed a lot of challenges in medical field. The power of identifying the exact reason for a disease is of great challenge for any practitioner. The conglomeration of engineering with medicine has always contributed significantly to know the unknown in a more precise way. Sensors are the integral part of today’s medical diagnosis. They act as the finding tool for the practitioner by providing the relevant data about the parameter of interest to decode the unknown facts and causes for the disease to occur. Biosensor has taken the diagnosing technique to a new level of understanding the internal causes for any type of malfunctioning inside the human body. In order to understand the biosensor this paper attempts to bridge the gap by reviewing previous efforts. Importance of biomarker and nano biosensors are also considered for understanding the biosensor next level of applications.
