Abstract
One of the lessons we learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is that the need for ultrasensitive detection systems is now more critical than ever. While sensors' sensitivity, portability, selectivity, and low cost are crucial, new ways to couple synergistic methods enable the highest performance levels. This review article critically discusses the synergetic combinations of optical and electrochemical methods. We also discuss three key application fields-energy, biomedicine, and environment. Finally, we selected the most promising approaches and examples, the open challenges in sensing, and ways to overcome them. We expect this work to set a clear reference for developing and understanding strategies, pros and cons of different combinations of electrochemical and optical sensors integrated into a single device.

Abstract
Over the past few years, therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) has gained practical significance in antimicrobial precision therapy. Yet two categories of mainstream TDM techniques (chromatographic analysis and immunoassays) that are widely adopted nowadays retain certain inherent limitations. The use of biosensors, an innovative strategy for rapid evaluation of antimicrobial concentrations in biological samples, enables the implementation of point-of-care testing (POCT) and continuous monitoring, which may circumvent the constraints of conventional TDM and provide strong technological support for individualized antimicrobial treatment. This comprehensive review summarizes the investigations that have harnessed biosensors to detect antimicrobial drugs in biological matrices, provides insights into the performance and characteristics of each sensing form, and explores the feasibility of translating them into clinical practice. Furthermore, the future trends and obstacles to achieving POCT and continuous monitoring are discussed. More efforts are necessary to address the four key 'appropriateness' challenges to deploy biosensors in clinical practice, paving the way for personalized antimicrobial stewardship.

Abstract
Metallic nanostructures supporting surface plasmon modes can concentrate optical fields and enhance luminescence processes from the metal surface at plasmonic hotspots. Such nanoplasmonic metal luminescence contributes to the spectral background in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) measurements and is helpful in bioimaging, nanothermometry and chemical reaction monitoring applications. Although there is growing interest in nanoplasmonic metal luminescence, its dependence on voltage modulation has received limited attention in research investigations. Also, the hyphenated electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (EC-SERS) technique typically ignores voltage-dependent spectral background information associated with nanoplasmonic metal luminescence due to limited mechanistic understanding and poor measurement reproducibility. Here, we report a combined experiment and theory study on dynamic voltage-modulated nanoplasmonic metal luminescence from hotspots at the electrode-electrolyte interface using multiresonant nanolaminate nano-optoelectrode arrays. Our EC-SERS measurements under 785 nm continuous wavelength laser excitation demonstrate that short-wavenumber nanoplasmonic metal luminescence associated with plasmon-enhanced electronic Raman scattering (PE-ERS) exhibits a negative voltage modulation slope (up to ≈30% V-1) in physiological ionic solutions. Furthermore, we have developed a phenomenological model to intuitively capture the plasmonic, electronic, and ionic characteristics at the metal-electrolyte interface to understand the observed dependence of the PE-ERS voltage modulation slope on voltage polarization and ionic strength. The current work represents a critical step toward the general application of nanoplasmonic metal luminescence signals in optical voltage biosensing, hybrid optical-electrical signal transduction, and interfacial electrochemical monitoring.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is an essential clinical practice for optimizing drug dosing, thereby preventing adverse effects of drugs with a narrow therapeutic window, slow clearance, or high interperson pharmacokinetic variability. Monitoring methotrexate (MTX) during high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) therapy is necessary to avoid potentially fatal side effects caused by delayed elimination. Despite the efficacy of HD-MTX treatment, its clinical application in resource-limited settings is constrained due to the relatively high cost and time of analysis with conventional analysis methods. In this work, we developed (i) an electrochemically assisted surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) method for detecting MTX in human serum at a clinically relevant concentration range and (ii) a benchtop, Raman detection system with an integrated potentiostat, software, and data analysis unit that enables mapping of small areas of SERS substrates and quantitative SERS-based analysis. In the assay, by promoting electrostatic attraction between gold-coated nanopillar SERS substrates and MTX molecules in aqueous samples, a detection limit of 0.13 μM with a linear range of 0.43-2 μM was achieved in PBS. The implemented sample cleanup through gel filtration proved to be highly effective, resulting in a similar detection limit (0.55 μM) and linear range (1.81-5 μM) for both PBS and serum. The developed and optimized assay could also be used on the in-house built, Raman device. We showed that MTX detection can be carried out in less than 30 min with the Raman device, paving the way toward the TDM of MTX at the point-of-need and in resource-limited environments.

Abstract
The discovery of surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) from an electrochemical (EC)-SERS experiment is known as a historic breakthrough. Five decades have passed and Raman spectroelectrochemistry (SEC) has developed into a common characterization tool that provides information about the electrode-electrolyte interface. Recently, this technique has been successfully explored for analytical purposes. EC was found to highly improve the performances of SERS sensors, providing, among others, controlled adsorption of analytes and increased reproducibility. In this review, we highlight the potential of EC-SERS sensors to be implemented for point-of-need (PON) analyses as miniaturized devices, and their ability to revolutionize fields like quality control, diagnosis or environmental and food safety. Important developments have been achieved in Raman spectroelectrochemistry, which now represents a promising alternative to conventional analytical methods and interests more and more researchers. The studies included in this review open endless possibilities for real-life EC-SERS analytical applications.

Abstract
The rapid quantification of antimicrobial agents is important for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), enabling personalized dosing schemes in critically ill patients. Highly sophisticated TDM technology is becoming available, but its implementation in hospitals is still limited. Among the various proposed techniques, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) stands out as one of the more interesting due to its extremely high sensitivity, rapidity, and fingerprinting capabilities. Here, we present a comprehensive review of various SERS-based novel approaches applied for direct and indirect detection and quantification of antibiotic, antifungal, and antituberculosis drugs in different matrices, particularly focusing on the challenges for successful exploitation of this technique in the development of assays for point-of-care tests.

Abstract
Advancement of materials along with their fascinating properties play increasingly important role in facilitating the rapid progress in medicine. An excellent example is the recent development of biosensors based on nanomaterials that induce surface plasmon effect for screening biomarkers of various diseases ranging from cancer to Covid-19. The recent global pandemic re-confirmed the trend of real-time diagnosis in public health to be in point-of-care (POC) settings that can screen interested biomarkers at home, or literally anywhere else, at any time. Plasmonic biosensors, thanks to its versatile designs and extraordinary sensitivities, can be scaled into small and portable devices for POC diagnostic tools. In the meantime, efforts are being made to speed up, simplify and lower the cost of the signal readout process including converting the conventional heavy laboratory instruments into lightweight handheld devices. This article reviews the recent progress on the design of plasmonic nanomaterial-based biosensors for biomarker detection with a perspective of POC applications. After briefly introducing the plasmonic detection working mechanisms and devices, the selected highlights in the field focusing on the technology's design including nanomaterials development, structure assembly, and target applications are presented and analyzed. In parallel, discussions on the sensor's current or potential applicability in POC diagnosis are provided. Finally, challenges and opportunities in plasmonic biosensor for biomarker detection, such as the current Covid-19 pandemic and its testing using plasmonic biosensor and incorporation of machine learning algorithms are discussed.

Abstract
Glove-based wearable sensors can offer the potential ability to a fast and on-site environmental threat assessment, which is crucial for timely and informed incident management. In this study, an on-demand surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) array sensor has been patterned on fire-retardant fibre gloves via the screen-printing technique in large batches. The screen-printed ink contains one-pot synthesized silver nanoparticle and molybdenum disulfide nanocomposite (Ag/MoS2), and polyanionic cellulose (PAC) as a new adhesive agent. Rhodamine 6G (R6G) was employed as an initial probe molecule to systematically evaluate the performance of the resulting sensor. The results suggest that the fabricated fire-retardant screen-printed SERS array sensor displays high reproducibility and stability at 250 °C, with the lower detection limit of 10-13 M for R6G. The spot-to-spot SERS signals show that the intensity variation was less than 10%. Besides, the SERS signals can be maintained over 7 weeks. Further investigation was then successfully carried out to detect polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which are commonly used as flammable chemicals. In our perception, this wearable fire-retardant screen-printed SERS array sensor would be an ideal candidate for practical on-site environmental emergency monitoring due to its fire-retardant capability and timely measurement on a portable carrier.

Abstract
Traditional public health systems are suffering from limited, delayed, and inefficient medical services, especially when confronted with the pandemic and the aging population. Fusing traditional textiles with diagnostic, therapeutic, and protective medical devices can unlock electronic textiles (e-textiles) as point-of-care platform technologies on the human body, continuously monitoring vital signs and implementing round-the-clock treatment protocols in close proximity to the patient. This review comprehensively summarizes the research advances on e-textiles for wearable point-of-care systems. We start with a brief introduction to emphasize the significance of e-textiles in the current healthcare system. Then, we describe textile sensors for diagnosis, textile therapeutic devices for medical treatment, and textile protective devices for prevention, by highlighting their working mechanisms, representative materials, and clinical application scenarios. Afterward, we detail e-textiles' connection technologies as the gateway for real-time data transmission and processing in the context of 5G technologies and Internet of Things. Finally, we provide new insights into the remaining challenges and future directions in the field of e-textiles. Fueled by advances in chemistry and materials science, textile-based diagnostic devices, therapeutic devices, protective medical devices, and communication units are expected to interact synergistically to construct intelligent, wearable point-of-care textile platforms, ultimately illuminating the future of healthcare system in the Internet of Things era.

Abstract
Rapid technology development and economic growth have brought attention to public health issues, such as food safety and environmental pollution, which creates an ever-increasing demand for fast and portable sensing technologies. Portable surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) capable of various analyte detection with low concentration in a convenient manner shows advantages in sensing technology including enhanced diagnostic precision, improved diagnostic efficiency, reduced diagnostic cost, and alleviation of patient pain, which emerges as a promising candidate for point-of-care testing (POCT). SERS detection technology based on different nanostructures made of noble metal-based nanomaterials can increase the sensitivity of Raman scattering by 6-8 orders of magnitude, making Raman based trace detection possible, and greatly promote the application scenarios of portable Raman spectrometers. In this perspective, we provide an overview of fundamental knowledge about the SERS mechanism including chemical and electromagnetic field enhancement mechanisms, the design and fabrication of SERS substrates based on materials, progress of using SERS for POCT in biochemical sensing and its clinical applications. Furthermore, we present the prospective of developing new nanomaterials with different functionalities for advanced SERS substrates, as well as the future advancement of biomedical sensing and clinical potential of SERS technology.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates with multiwavelength rainbow-trapping properties hold the potential for a one-size-fits-all platform for rapid and multiplexed disease detection. We present the first report on the utilization of rainbow-trapping width-graded nano-gratings, a new class of chirped metamaterials, to detect protein biomarkers. Using cytochrome c (Cc), a charged analyte with inherent difficulty in adsorbing onto sputtered silver films, we investigated methods of binding Cc on the silver nano-grating in order to improve the SERS signal strength at both 532 and 638 nm excitation. Cc was not detectable on the Ag nano-gratings without surface functionalization at 1μM concentration. Upon charge reversal functionalization of the Ag nano-gratings, 1μM Cc was detectable albeit not reliably. By further crosslinking 1μM Cc to the functionalized Ag nano-gratings, the analyte-capture detection scheme greatly improved the SERS signal strength and reliability at both excitation wavelengths and allowed for quantification of their coefficients of variation with values down to 27%.

Abstract
Investigating the behavior of analytes at the electrode surface is crucial in understanding the electrochemical and electrocatalytic reactions. Although Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) is sensitive to minor chemical changes in the analyte, it is not widely used to study the reaction mechanisms on nonplasmonic surfaces because of the interference from plasmonic SERS substrates. In this study, we have investigated the redox reaction of Nile Blue A on a glassy carbon surface using pinhole-free silica-coated silver nanoparticles for Raman signal enhancement. The silver nanostructures were synthesized by a chemical reduction method, and the quality of the silica layer was confirmed using microscopic and electrochemical method. The in situ spectroelectrochemical data reveals the catalytic interference from silver which considerably alters the native reaction mechanism. The pinhole-free silica layer prevents the hot electron transfer and yields an interference-free enhancement to the Raman signals.

Abstract
Optical biosensors are low-cost, sensitive and portable devices that are poised to revolutionize the medical industry. Healthcare monitoring has already been transformed by such devices, with notable recent applications including heart rate monitoring in smartwatches and COVID-19 lateral flow diagnostic test kits. The commercial success and impact of existing optical sensors has galvanized research in expanding its application in numerous disciplines. Drug detection and monitoring seeks to benefit from the fast-approaching wave of optical biosensors, with diverse applications ranging from illicit drug testing, clinical trials, monitoring in advanced drug delivery systems and personalized drug dosing. The latter has the potential to significantly improve patients' lives by minimizing toxicity and maximizing efficacy. To achieve this, the patient's serum drug levels must be frequently measured. Yet, the current method of obtaining such information, namely therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), is not routinely practiced as it is invasive, expensive, time-consuming and skilled labor-intensive. Certainly, optical sensors possess the capabilities to challenge this convention. This review explores the current state of optical biosensors in personalized dosing with special emphasis on TDM, and provides an appraisal on recent strategies. The strengths and challenges of optical biosensors are critically evaluated, before concluding with perspectives on the future direction of these sensors.

Abstract
An effective and reversible tuning of the intensity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) of nonelectroactive molecules at nonresonance conditions by electrochemical means has been developed on plasmonic molecular nanojunctions formed between Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) and a gold nanoelectrode (AuNE) modified with a self-assembled monolayer. The Au@Ag nanoparticle on nanoelectrode (NPoNE) structures are formed in situ by the electrochemical deposition of Ag on AuNPs adsorbed on the AuNE and can be monitored by both the electrochemical current and SERS signals. Instead of introducing molecular changes by the applied electrode potential, the highly effective SERS intensity tuning was achieved by the chemical composition transformation of the ultrathin Ag shell from metallic Ag to insulating AgCl. The electrode potential-induced electromagnetic enhancement (EME) tuning in the Au@Ag NPoNE structure has been confirmed by finite-difference time-domain simulations. Moreover, the specific Raman band associated with Ag-molecule interaction can also be tuned by the electrode potential. Therefore, we demonstrated that the electrode potential could effectively and reversibly modulate both EME and chemical enhancement in Au@Ag NPoNE structures.

Abstract
This work presents the application of EC-SERS spectroscopy for the detection of caffeine consumption from human saliva. Caffeine and paraxanthine as the major metabolite of caffeine were tested. Model samples of saliva spiked with caffeine were investigated, and detection of caffeine in real-life saliva samples was tested in order to ensure the viability of the method for clinical applications. Two doses of caffeine (2 mg/kg and 3.5 mg/kg) were ingested by volunteers, and their saliva samples were taken at different time periods ranging from 1 h to 10 h after the consumption. Density functional theory calculations of caffeine and paraxanthine adsorbed on the silver surface were performed in order to better understand the adsorption of the investigated molecules and to make a correct assignment of the experimental spectral bands of the EC-SERS spectra. It was determined that a low dose caffeine consumption can be detected by the appearance of the SERS spectral marker band of caffeine and paraxanthine at 692 cm-1. The intensity of this band is mostly reasoned by the paraxanthine concentration since the intensity changes of the band over time correlates to the concentration changes of paraxanthine determined by the pharmacokinetic studies of paraxanthine and caffeine in the human saliva. It was found that the limit of detection paraxanthine in saliva by means of EC-SERS is as low as 15 μM and can be further improved.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as a powerful tool for ultrasensitive fingerprint recognition of molecules with considerable potential in wearable biochemical sensing. However, previous efforts to fabricate wearable SERS devices by directly treating fabrics with plasmonic nanoparticles have generated a nonuniform assembly of nanoparticles, weakly adsorbed on fabrics via van der Waals forces. Here, we report the creation of washing reusable SERS membranes and textiles via template-assisted self-assembly and micro/nanoimprinting approaches. Uniquely, we employ the capillary force driven self-assembly process to generate micropatch arrays of Au nanoparticle (NP) aggregates within hydrophobic microstructured templates, which are then robustly bonded onto semipermeable transparent membranes and stretchable textiles using the UV-resist based micro/nanoimprinting technique. A mild reactive ion etching (RIE) treatment of SERS membranes and textiles can physically expose the SERS hotspots of Au NP-aggregates embedded within the polymer UV resist for further improvement of their SERS performance. Also, we demonstrate that the semipermeable transparent SERS membranes can keep the moisture content of meat from evaporating to enable stable in situ SERS monitoring of biochemical environments at the fresh meat surface. By contrast, stretchable SERS textiles can allow the spreading, soaking, and evaporation of solution analyte samples on the fabric matrix for continuous enrichment of analyte molecules at the hotspots in biochemical SERS detection. Due to the mechanical robustness of the UV-resist immobilized Au NP aggregates, simple detergent-water washing with ultrasound sonication or mechanical stirring can noninvasively clean contaminated hot spots to reuse SERS textiles. Therefore, we envision that washing reusable SERS membranes and textiles by template-assisted self-assembly and micro/nanoimprinting fabrication are promising for wearable biochemical sensing applications, such as wound monitoring and body fluid monitoring.

Abstract
Toxemia of pregnancy is a very dangerous disease for pregnant women. The mortality rate of toxemia of pregnancy is close to 10% to 15%. Early detection of pregnancy toxemia is to monitoring uric acid concentration in urine. The current mainstream method for detecting uric acid requires an enzyme (urate oxidase), which needs to be stored in a low-temperature environment, and the method requires complex chemical steps, which takes a longer time and more samples. In this study, we propose an integrated miniature three-electrode electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy chip (EC-SERS chip) suitable for rapid EC-SERS detection applications. The integrated microfluidic reservoir on the chip makes it easy to use, which is very suitable for rapid detection applications. The SERS active working electrode for the proposed integrated EC-SERS chip is a nanocone array polycarbonate (PC) substrate decorated with an evenly distributed and tightly packed array of gold nanospheres. It showed good uniformity and can be easily reproduced. The integrated EC-SERS chip is very small compared to the traditional electrochemical cell, which reduces the sample volume required for the testing. In addition, the chip is for one-time use only. It eliminates the need to clean electrochemical cells for reuse, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination and inaccurate detection. Various low-concentration Rhodamine 6G (R6G) solutions were tested to verify the performance of the developed EC-SERS chip. Experimental results showed that the proposed EC-SERS chip has a strong enhancement factor of up to 8.5 × 106 and a very good EC-SERS uniformity (the relative standard deviation of EC-SERS intensity is as low as 1.41%). The EC-SERS chip developed has been further tested for the detection of uric acid in synthetic urine. The results showed that the EC-SERS signal intensity has a highly linear relationship with the logarithm of the uric acid concentration in synthetic urine, which indicates that the developed EC-SERS chip is suitable for the quantitative detection of uric acid in synthetic urine. Therefore, the developed EC-SERS chip is very promising to be used in routine and early diagnosis of pregnancy toxemia and may be used in many other medical tests, food safety, and biotechnology applications.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is a major global health issue. In particular, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) requires urgent attention and early diagnosis. The use of point-of-care diagnostics has resulted in the improved management of cardiovascular disease, but a major drawback is that the performance of POC devices does not rival that of central laboratory tests. Recently, many studies and advances have been made in the field of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), including the development of POC biosensors that utilize this detection method. Here, we present a review of the strengths and limitations of these emerging SERS-based biosensors for AMI diagnosis. The ability of SERS to multiplex sensing against existing POC detection methods are compared and discussed. Furthermore, SERS calibration-free methods that have recently been explored to minimize the inconvenience and eliminate the limitations caused by the limited linear range and interassay differences found in the calibration curves are outlined. In addition, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) in SERS techniques to promote multivariate analysis and enhance diagnostic accuracy are discussed. The future prospects for SERS-based POC devices that include wearable POC SERS devices toward predictive, personalized medicine following the Fourth Industrial Revolution are proposed.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has been widely used for bioanalysis because it provides a high sensitivity for detecting analytes of ultralow concentrations. However, the clinical application of a 2D SERS-active substrate remains challenging because of the difficulty of obtaining accurate quantification, especially at low concentration. In this study, we proposed an analytical method that integrates an optimized sample mapping strategy with an electrochemical SERS (EC-SERS) technique to resolve this problem. We adopted this method to detect two metabolites of azathioprine, namely 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGNs) and 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP), as our proof-of-concept experiment. We first prepared a conductive SERS-active substrate by electrochemically depositing Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) on indium tin oxide glass. The two metabolites were then randomly absorbed on the surface of the AuNPs of the SERS-active substrates. When we applied a negative potential on the substrate, we observed a large enhancement of Raman intensity for both metabolites, which was attributed to both the charge transfer effect and reorientation of metabolites on the substrate surface, leading to the formation of Au-S bonds. In addition, by optimizing the mapping range, we were able to efficiently reduce the standard deviation of SERS intensity and achieve a consistent standard deviation lower than 10%. With these two features, we were able to achieve quantitative analysis of 6-TGNs and 6-MMP with a detection limit of 10 and 100 nM, respectively. The integration of EC-SERS and the mapping method provided a reliable and quantitative analytical platform for analytes, which can be electrochemically modulated, like 6-TGNs and 6-MMP.
