knowledge and execution in the realms of biology and medicine for human welfare. Thus,

bioelectronic research covers a broad array of topics, such as biosensors, machine in­

telligence in healthcare, signal receiving devices for chronic diseases, wearable gadgets,

and many more applications.

Semiconductor nanostructured materials are a unique group of materials that could be

used to yield high-performance electronics and optoelectronics. Bioelectronics has been

transformed the technology from a hard and huge shape to a flexible and small format

with astounding properties because of breakthroughs in nanocomposite materials. Aside

from this progress, there are still many practical hurdles to overcome. Bioelectronics

devices with material designing have high efficiency and flexibility, but the long-lasting

durability of the nanoscale active layer is still missing, particularly in humid conditions.

To address this issue, soft encapsulating components and coating methods are necessary.

There is still plenty of room for wide bandgap materials to be used in implanted device

performances. Biocompatibility, safety, and signal-receiving and stimulating systems, on

the other hand, require additional consideration. Advanced technologies for efficient

and cost-effective mass manufacture are required to bring nanomaterial-based com­

modities, to the marketplace. Bioelectronic discoveries that include perspectives from

a variety of fields have substantial opportunities. Meaningful collaborative efforts

between chemists, material researchers, technology developers, and therapists would

help to take nanomaterial-based bioelectronics closer to therapeutic strategies and, also

ultimately, to address a range of concerns.
