*Result*: Advances in nanopore sensing: Signal processing prospects for the future.
*Further Information*
*Nanopore sensing has developed as a revolutionary analytical tool in clinical chemistry, which facilitates fast, label-free analysis of biomolecules from nucleic acids through proteins and small metabolites. Its potential for converting molecular interaction into measurable ionic current fingerprints makes real-time, high-resolution analysis of clinically relevant targets possible in complex biological matrices. In this chapter, we discuss the changing scene of signal processing methods that augment the diagnostic potential of nanopore platforms. The focus areas are reduction of noise, extraction of features, and integration of machine learning for precise biomarker identification under physiologically noisy environments. The chapter also mentions advances in real-time processing essential for point-of-care diagnostics, such as the adoption of edge AI and application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Finally, we present the future application of quantum computing and multimodal sensing in pushing nanopore-based clinical diagnostics forward.
