nanomedical devices

Nanomedical devices are tiny tools and systems engineered at the nanometer scale (one-billionth of a meter) to diagnose, treat, or prevent medical conditions. Because of their small size, they can access areas in the body that larger devices cannot reach, allowing for highly targeted therapies and precise diagnostics. Examples include nanoscale drug delivery systems that release medication directly to diseased cells, and nanosensors that detect early signs of disease at the molecular level. These innovations aim to improve treatment effectiveness, reduce side effects, and enable earlier disease detection, advancing personalized healthcare.
