Nanotechnology and artificial intelligence

Abstract

The convergence of nanotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI) in medical science heralds a transformative era, promising groundbreaking innovations in diagnostics, therapeutics, and personalized medicine. Nanotechnology, operating at the scale of individual atoms and molecules, facilitates the design of advanced materials with unique properties, enabling precise drug delivery, diagnostic imaging, and theranostics. On the other hand, AI, with its prowess in machine learning (ML) and data analysis, enhances medical decision-making, diagnostic accuracy, and patient care. This chapter explores the revolutionary synergy between nanotechnology and AI, examining their individual contributions and the synergistic effects when integrated. In the realm of nanotechnology, the utilization of nanomaterials for drug delivery systems is explored, showcasing their ability to enhance targeting, reduce side effects, and revolutionize treatment, with a particular focus on successful applications in cancer therapy. Additionally, the development of nanosensors for diagnostics is discussed, emphasizing their role in early disease detection, real-time monitoring, and imaging. © IOP Publishing Ltd 2024.
