Despite remarkable breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, such as AlphaFold, the Nobel Prize-winning protein structure predictor, medical diagnostics lag behind due to limited access to high-quality data. Current tools primarily measure basic vital signs, overlooking the wealth of biochemical information essential for precise health monitoring. My research addresses this gap by developing simple, affordable, and highly sensitive optical biosensors. Highlights include a colorimetric approach for at-home protein detection, enhanced by the coffee-ring effect and deep learning, as well as ultra-sensitive nucleic acid and protein detection using plasmonic nanoparticles arranged at exceptional points. These innovations are further refined through AI-assisted phase sensing and integration with photonic circuits for compact, scalable designs. This work bridges the divide between advanced sensing technologies and practical medical applications, offering new possibilities for accessible, individualized diagnostics.
