The necessity to establish novel solutions for decentralized monitoring is attracting attention in all fields of analytical chemistry, i.e., clinical, pharmaceutical, environmental, agri-food. The research around the terms "point-of-need", "point-of-care", "lab-on-chip", "biosensor", "microfluidics", etc. is/has been always aimed at the possibility to produce easy-to-use and fast-response devices to be used by nonspecialists. However, the routes to produce the optimal device might be time-consuming and costly. In this Feature, we would like to highlight the role of chemometric-based approaches that are useful in the conceptualization, production, and data analysis in developing reliable portable devices and also decrease the amount of experiments (thus, costs) at the same time. Readers will be provided a concise overview regarding the most employed chemometric tools used for target identification, design of experiments, data analysis, and digitalization of results applied to the development of diverse portable analytical platforms. This Feature provides a tutorial perspective regarding all the major methods and applications that have been currently developed. In particular, the presence of a concise and informative table assists analytical chemists in utilizing the right chemometrics-based tool depending on the architectures and transduction.
