纳米医学是随着纳米生物医药发展起来用纳米技术解决医学问题的学科。

纳米技术和材料的发展将将给医学领域带来一场深刻的革命，主要在对付癌症和治疗心血管疾病方面有重要意义。

纳米材料具有与一般材料所不同的物理化学性能。

纳米技术可能将在以下方面对医学产生较大的影响：

Nanomedicine is the medical application of nanotechnology. Nanomedicine ranges from the medical applications of nanomaterials and biological devices, to nanoelectronic biosensors, and even possible future applications of molecular nanotechnology such as biological machines. Current problems for nanomedicine involve understanding the issues related to toxicity and environmental impact of nanoscale materials (materials whose structure is on the scale of nanometers, i.e. billionths of a meter).
