Nanodevices: The future of medical diagnostics

Abstract

The speedy lifestyle of the twenty-first century has increased the disease complexity into severalfold. In this regard, biomedical devices have influenced the modern society by providing all kinds of medical comfort and have enhanced life expectancy worldwide. The need for these devices is rising due to the fast life, where every one is busy in their own way and thus people have much less time for regular monitoring of their own health. This is the reason why personalized point-of-care medical devices are in high demand. These smart systems with optimal capabilities are enabling the society with physical, mental, and clinical support. In this chapter, we have discussed about the modernization of the devices and their significant advancement in various fields using nanotechnology. The ultrasmall size and sensitivity of materials in the nanoregime have helped in development of new tools and systems which have taken clinical diagnosis and treatment into the next level.
