Nanotechnology has the potential to completely revolutionise all the three key aspects of healthcare sector-Diagnosis, prevention and Treatment. It can completely change the healthcare sector for the next generation. Nanotechnology will help medical professionals in today’s most excruciating medical issues, such as repairing of damaged organs, diagnosis and treatment of cancer cells, removal of obstruction in brain and it can help in better drug delivery system.
By using nanotechnology system it is possible to measure hundreds of complicated factors simultaneously, avoiding the risk of losing samples waiting days for lab results, and lab mess-ups. Nano filters are able to remove the smallest of known viruses. Nanotechnologically made, antimicrobial coating is another promising area for preventing diseases. Nanotechnology can help design certain drugs that very difficult to manufacture because of structural constraints by using a controlled manufacturing system at the atomic and molecular level. Nanotechnologically, the drugs can be designed such as to eliminate the toxic part of it and leave the ”effective” one.
Nanotechnology can be used for both in vivo and in vitro biomedical research and applications. NaƱo particles can be used in targeting tumor cells at initial stage. Particles like den trine, quantan dofs and fullerene. Nanotechnology can be used to develop ”signature protein” to treat cancer.
Resultingly, we can say that nanotechnology can help solve many of the problems associated with treating diseases.
