Bourne Research Dispels Myths and Outlines Benefits...
Abstract:
The use of MEMS and Nanotechnology in medicine is more than just the stuff of science fiction. These technologies are having a profound, and in some cases, revolutionary impact on healthcare, resulting in products that are improving diagnosis, treatment and patient outcomes; all of which is ultimately reducing medical costs.
