This study developed a gold nanoparticle-modified screen-printed electrode (SPE) for noninvasive detection of alpha-amylase in saliva. The sensor showed good accuracy, strong linear response, and potential as a diagnostic tool, though it is sensitive to external factors like pH and temperature. Further research is needed for medical application.
