Abstract In recent years, the latest approaches in the pharmaceutical field and personalized medicine have begun to use new technologies and nanodevices for diagnosis and treatment monitoring. Nanodevices such as nanorobots and nanomachines are used in heterogeneous domains such as environmental monitoring and remediation, imaging, energy, food security, drug delivery, sensing, detoxification, and even in nanosurgery and lab on chip devices, in order to improve health care and to address issues difficult to solve by conventional methods currently in use. The growing interest toward those nanotechnologies is justified by the performances reported so far. This review will present the latest achievements in nanodevices design targeting pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.
