The applications of nanotechnology-based implantable devices are vast and varied. Some of the key areas include:
1. Drug Delivery: Nanotechnology enables the development of targeted drug delivery systems that can release medication at the specific site of illness, reducing side effects and improving efficacy. 2. Diagnostics: Implantable nanosensors can provide continuous monitoring of biomarkers, enabling early detection of diseases such as cancer or diabetes. 3. Tissue Engineering: Nanoscale scaffolds can be used to promote tissue regeneration and repair, offering solutions for conditions like spinal cord injuries or heart disease. 4. Neuromodulation: Devices such as neurostimulators can be used to treat neurological disorders by modulating nerve activity.
