Cover Story: This study introduces a durable, enzyme-free glucose sensor based on a nanostructured composite electrode integrated on a printed circuit board. Combining highly porous gold with polyaniline and platinum nanoparticles, the sensor achieves high sensitivity (95.12 ± 2.54 µA mM−1 cm−2) and excellent stability in interstitial fluid. Its performance surpasses conventional abiotic electrodes, offering a promising solution for wearable and minimally invasive glucose monitoring. With potential applications in personalised healthcare, continuous glucose tracking, and smart diagnostics, this work lays the foundation for next-generation biosensors that are selective, affordable, and scalable—addressing global challenges in diabetes management and digital health. View this paper
