HCM

Answer 1

Technology is transforming the way we live. When it comes to our health, we use the latest technology to get the maximum benefit. In healthcare we depend on technology and innovation to lead a stress free life. In 2017, there were many innovations and healthcare solutions in the fields of technology infrastructure, payment models, care models and disease management applications.

Nanomedicine is one of the technology which is used in healthcare. Nanomedicine uses nanotechnology -that is the study of molecular structure -for developing precise devices to advance bio medical research and clinical practice. The continued development of nanomedicine has the potential to provide numerous benefits including improved efficacy, bioavailability, dose-response, targeting ability, personalization and safety compared to conventional medicine. Nanomedicine already is extending the lifespan of a number of people. All such newer methods have the potential to extend the lifespan. Nanomedicine informatics is necessary for integrating large, complex data sets at the nano level, implementing nanoparticles in living organisms, and smart drug delivery.

The largest healthcare system is HCA healthcare. HCA healthcare is an American for profit operator of healthcare facilities.
