Nanomedicine and Healthcare Systems
The chapter presents an outlook on the recent techniques of developing nanoscale medicines. With advancement in technology, nanoscale therapeutics is slowly becoming the future of medicine and smart diagnostics. The combined activity of therapeutic agents with assistance of nanomaterials have proved effective in troubleshooting the issues concerned with the conventional therapeutic techniques. Despite of these benefits, improvement in certain issues like side effects and toxicity needs to be studied extensively before real-time application in biological systems. Thus, in this chapter, emphasis has been made on understanding the concept of a nanomaterial-based therapeutic system with recent advances and exploration of the characteristics of nanomaterials which would allow us to further develop strategies that are supportive towards effective treatment and disease diagnosis.
