What Are Some Applications of Nanotechnology in Disease Monitoring?
Several diseases can benefit from nanotechnology-based monitoring:
Diabetes:Glucose nanosensors can continuously monitor blood sugar levels, providing real-time data and reducing the need for frequent blood draws. Cancer: Nanoparticles can detect specific cancer biomarkers in blood samples, enabling early diagnosis and monitoring of treatment response. Infectious Diseases: Nanosensors can quickly identify the presence of pathogens such as bacteria or viruses, aiding in rapid diagnosis and containment of infectious outbreaks. Cardiovascular Diseases: Nanotechnology can monitor biomarkers associated with heart disease, such as troponin, providing early warning signs of a heart attack.
