Multifunctional systems for nanomedicine and health care

Innovative key enabling technologies in health and nano medicine have long been integrated into devices that treat acute or chronic diseases, and which affect vital prognoses or alter drastically the quality of life of numerous people. However, tremendous progress in research fields such as imaged guided interventions, genomics, bionic, biomedical, bio-sensing, energy harvesting and low-power electronics for communicating securely and extending processing and memory capacities now offer completely new approaches based on the understanding of biological mechanisms at the origins of diseases that will radically change the way diseases are diagnosed, treated and followed-up. This session will provide opportunity to present recent development in devices, sensors and multifunctional micro/nanosystems for medicine and health care applications, including drug delivery systems, lab-on-chip, biosystems-on-chip, point of care, portable, wearable and implantable devices, etc.
