The use of nanotechnology, especially nanosensors in healthcare diagnostics
It is exciting to view that, Healthcare companies are looking forward to
developing efficient and accurate diagnostics systems using nanotechnology.
In effect, the use of nanotechnology, especially nanosensors in healthcare
diagnostics, facilitates speeding up of the diagnostics process, thereby
complementing the primary goal of diagnostics to identify a medical problem in
the shortest span of time.
“A major advantage of using nanosensors for healthcare diagnostics is
that they are composed of carbon nanotubes, which are 100,000 times smaller
than a strand of hair. This makes it highly convenient for these sensors to be
implanted into the body without causing any inconvenience to the patient,”
said Chetan Mohan, a lead sensors research
analyst at Technavio.
