title: New markets for small and smart medical products.
abstract: Miniaturised devices that employ micro- and nanotechnologies will play a major role in future medical treatment and technology. In addition to 35 already commercialised nanomedical products, there are new market opportunities on the horizon including self-medication with small and smart devices. These and their drivers as well as current hurdles are examined here.
