What Are the Applications in Tracking Disease Spread?
Nanotechnology can also be employed in tracking disease spread. Nanoscale devices can monitor environmental conditions and public health metrics in real-time. For example, nanoparticle-based air quality sensors can detect the presence of airborne pathogens, providing data that helps predict and control outbreaks. This real-time data collection is crucial for epidemiologists who model disease dynamics and devise containment strategies.
