NANOSENSORS: IMPROVING DISEASE PREVENTION, DETECTION & TREAT

This book will represent one of the first to cover the fundamental and applied aspects of nano sensors in healthcare. It will focus on specific diseases, present real clinical data and case studies, and highlight future areas of research needed to commercialize such devices. It will cover the design, fabrication, and use of nanosensors in numerous medical applications.

Sensors have already revolutionized numerous fields from automobiles to alternative energy to consumer goods. However, they have only just started to impact medicine. Thought leaders around the world are predicting how nanosensors will revolutionize medicine. From wearables to implantables, sensors can prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases without requiring hospital or doctor visits.

Sensors also represent improved healthcare as they can intervene in disease progression earlier than conventional medicine and can incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI), learning how to improve patient health with every treatment. They can also be used anywhere in the world, thus, reducing global healthcare disparities. Nanomaterials are a crucial part of sensor design and fabrication as they are small, light weight and have improved properties such as a greater ability to detect biomolecules and electrical properties for sensing.
