Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a touchscreen that includes one or more biosensors. The touchscreen can include drive lines, sense lines, a photoconductive material, one or more biosensing areas, a touchscreen engine, and a biosensor engine. In a touchscreen mode, the touchscreen engine can be configured to couple with the sense lines and determine a place on the touchscreen where a user touched. In a biosensing mode, the biosensor engine can be configured to use the drive lines or sense lines and determine biometrics of the user.
