Abstract
By enhancing drug administration and diagnostics, nanotechnology is
transforming the healthcare industry. Novel approaches to drug design are being driven
by combining cutting-edge technologies such as nanorobots and artificial intelligence.
Healthcare can benefit from the potential of nanotechnology through the development
of multifunctional nanotherapeutics, which could close gaps in the current therapeutic
field.
<br><br>Powered by integrated circuits, sensors, and data storage, nanorobots can increase
efficiency and lessen systemic effects while follow-up care for cancer patients is made
simpler by nanosensors. Additionally, nanotherapeutics have gained their way in
developing novel therapeutics to overcome cancer drug resistance by targeting the
mechanisms that induce the drug resistance. Another upcoming field in nanomedicine
is the utilization of 3D printing techniques in order to create solid dosage forms based
on nanomedicine. By enabling flexible design and on-demand manufacture of
customized dosages, enhancing bioavailability, and other attributes, 3D printing
technology has revolutionized the pharmaceutical industry. The futuristic applications
of nanotechnology hybridized with novel techniques will be discussed in this chapter. <br>
