Abstract : Over the past few decades, the field of organic electronics has depicted proliferated growth, due to the advantageous characteristics of organic semiconductors, such as tunability through synthetic chemistry, simplicity in processing, cost-effectiveness, and low-voltage operation, to cite a few. Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) have recently emerged as a highly promising technology in the area of biosensing and flexible electronics. OECT-based biosensors are capable of sensing brain activities, tissues, monitoring cells, hormones, DNAs, and glucose. Sensitivity, selectivity, and detection limit are the key parameters adopted for measuring the performance of OECT-based biosensors. This article highlights the advancements and exciting prospects of OECTs for future biosensing applications, such as cell-based biosensing, chemical sensing, DNA/ribonucleic acid (RNA) sensing, glucose sensing, immune sensing, ion sensing, and pH sensing. OECT-based biosensors outperform other conventional biosensors because of their excellent biocompatibility, high transconductance, and mixed electronic–ionic conductivity. At present, OECTs are fabricated and characterized in millimeter and micrometer dimensions, and miniaturizing their dimensions to nanoscale is the key challenge for utilizing them in the field of nanobioelectronics, nanomedicine, and nanobiosensing
