Abstract
Nanomedicine deals with the usage of nanotechnology for medical purposes. Due to their identical size to the majority of biological molecules, nanomaterials utilized in nanomedicine are advantageous for in vivo applications. The aim of applying nanotechnology in medicine is to effectively diagnose and treat diseases. Although nanomedicine remains in its early stages, many analytical tools, diagnostic devices, biosensors, drug delivery vehicles, and physical therapy applications are being developed under this branch of medicine to treat diseases. It is anticipated that a growing number of medicines will use nanotechnology in the coming years as a result of the progress in the field. However, as nanotechnology develops, it is essential to consider both benefits and limitations of the technology including its potential risks. Current problems in the development of nanomedicine involve the toxicity and environmental effects of nanoscale compounds, but as the field develops, its impact on the economy is expected to be significant in the future.
