Abstract

The objective of the work is to recognize the recent advancements in the modern health care and drug delivery systems. The article describes few recent developments in technology like artificial intelligence, personalized medicines, customized medicines, 3D printing, bioelectronic devices and tele pharmacy, which have the potential to augment health care and drug delivery in coming times. Personalized medication ensures precise health care as per the individual genetic makeup of the patients. The 3D printing technology enables to deliver tailor made solutions to fulfil individual patient requirements. Bioelectronic medicines and devices are new technology where the patient wears a device and its electrical signal cures certain ailments. Tele pharmacy ensures that the technological advances of telecommunications are also passed on to the patient health care sector. Moreover, it can be said that all these modern developments ensure that the quality of life improves and there comes a better control on the health care costs.
