Machine‐Learning‐Aided Advanced Electrochemical Biosensors
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Electrochemical biosensors are highly sensitive, portable, and versatile. Advanced nanomaterials enhance their performance, while machine learning (ML) improves data analysis, minimizes interference, and optimizes sensor design. Despite progress in both fields, their combined potential in diagnostics remains underexplored.
