Description: A vitamin biosensor is an analytical device that allows for the detection and quantification of vitamin levels in biological samples, such as blood, saliva, or tissues. These biosensors combine biological elements, such as enzymes or antibodies, with a transducer that converts the biological signal into an electrical or optical signal, thus facilitating the precise measurement of vitamin concentrations. Their relevance lies in the growing concern for health and well-being, as vitamin deficiencies can lead to various diseases. Moreover, these devices are part of the IoT (Internet of Things) sensor ecosystem, meaning they can connect to networks to transmit data in real-time, allowing for continuous and remote health monitoring of the user. The miniaturization and improved sensitivity of these biosensors have made their use possible in both clinical and personal applications, providing valuable information about nutritional status and helping to personalize diets and treatments. In summary, vitamin biosensors represent an innovative intersection between biotechnology and information technology, offering effective tools for health and wellness management.
