Nano-enabled Medicine

According to the Medical Device Network (2020), nanotechnology applications in medicine include the “imaging, diagnosis, or the delivery of drugs that will help medical professionals treat various diseases”. Nanomedicine is the second-largest category for nanotechnology products, with 1094 different types of products.
