Abstract
Recent breakthroughs in semiconductor technology, machine learning, and biochemistry/biology are paving the way for the long-envisioned goal of personalized healthcare. Real-time, clinical-grade biomarker and vital sign monitoring enable the creation of AI-driven digital twins—detailed biological profiles that serve as powerful tools for prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. When integrated with advanced drug delivery systems in a closed-loop framework, these innovations are reshaping the future of personalized medicine. In this talk, we will explore the transformative potential of nanotechnology in real-time, closed-loop diagnostics and therapeutics.
