IEEE BioSensors focuses on research, development, and application of biosensors and biosensing systems. Biosensors involve the use of a biological or chemical element to transduce a target measurand into a signal. Biosensing systems include electrochemical, optical, mechanical, material, and other instrumentation associated with biosensor measurements as well as sample preparation/processing, sample interfacing, and data processing/analytical methods specific to biosensors. 

Examples of applications - Point of care diagnostics & monitoring devices; microanalytical systems (lab on chip, organ-on-chip, cell-based biosensors); wearable & implantable devices; bioprocess technology; environmental monitoring (water, air); agritech (horticulture, veterinary); biological/chemical warfare agent detection; high throughput drug discovery & testing.
