Abstract
Affordable, accessible biosensors for the diagnosis, management, and treatment of chronic diseases are critical to reducing healthcare costs. Among all electronic instruments or chemical compounds that are capable of sensing biological signals, those that are implanted in vivo pose a significant advantage. Implantable sensors can directly monitor biological metabolites, electrically stimulate and detect nerve activities, restore body functions, and be used for drug delivery. This chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the ongoing efforts to develop different modalities of implantable sensors and also covers the necessary technical considerations for developing functional and stable chemical compounds that are capable of measuring the concentration of different bioanalytes of interest.
