Modern medicine is based on nanotechnology. Nanotechnology could be used in drug delivery. One of the major challenge of modern medicine is that the body doesn't absorb the entire drug dose given to a patient.
Scientists can ensure drugs are delivered to specific areas in the body with greater precision, and the drugs can be formulated so that the active ingredient better permeates cell membranes, reducing the required dose.
Additionally, there is an urgent need in the developing world for better disease diagnosis, and nanotechnology offers a multitude of options for detecting disease.
Carbon nanotubes, cancer biosensors, nanowires, probes are used for diagnosis.
