NIETO-CALLEJAS, María J.; CARDONA-MAYA, Walter D.; ISAZA-MERINO, César A.  and  CARDONA-MAYA, Yamile. Diagnosis of COVID-19 and innovative alternative methods based on optic fiber immunosensor. Ing. compet. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, e30110484.  Epub May 18, 2021. ISSN 0123-3033.  https://doi.org/10.25100/iyc.v23i2.10484.

This work shows a world overview of COVID-19 diagnostic methods, analyzing their effectiveness and sensitivity. With a special emphasis on biosensors, specifically, those that are based on fiber-optic technology, simply explaining their operation and their ability to detect virus as SARS-CoV-2. With these technological advances, the clinical diagnosis will be made faster, cheaper, and applied to patients in remote places where there are no hospitals or clinical laboratories, either due to poverty, geographic difficulties, or violence, factors found in Colombia.

Keywords : Biosensor; COVID-19; Clinical Diagnostics; Medicine; Technology and Optical fiber.
