Abstract
This chapter discusses the use of smart nanodevices in various pharmaceutical and medical applications, including drug delivery and disease diagnostics. Here, we give an overview of the global pharma market by focusing on the application of nanodevices in medical and interdisciplinary-related fields using nanoscaled materials. The section is then followed by brief perspectives and current trends of nanodevices, particularly for point-of-care applications incorporating nanomaterials. We also discuss recent achievements in nanopharmaceutical drug delivery and those publicly available in the global market. At the end of this chapter we discuss future prospects for intelligent nanomaterials, particularly in medicine and pharmaceutical endeavors.
