English: Analyte containing bodily fluids match with the bio-receptor which can be an enzyme, antibody, cell, nucleic acid, or biomimetic-based. The matching of the analyte and bio-receptor creates a change in the signal that is registered and converted to a measurable output by the transducers. Signal conversion can be in the means of electrochemical, optical, thermal, or gravimetric. The output signal is processed by integrated or discrete electronics where the signal can be amplified, filtered, or sent to desired device platforms. For extended functionality and mobility, modern biosensors provide wireless data communication to smart devices with their integrated data communication module. This way, the extracted signal can be displayed or recorded on any mobile device for personal health monitoring.
