Molecular Manufacturing: The Future of Nanomedicine
This book explores the revolutionary potential of atomically precise manufacturing technologies to transform global healthcare, as well as practically every other sector across society. This forward-thinking volume examines how envisaged Factory@Home systems might enable the cost-effective domestic fabrication of (among myriad consumer products, including nutritious gourmet foods) advanced autonomous nanomedical devices that have the capacity to address most health challenges, including the disease of aging itself.
Molecular Manufacturing: The Future of Nanomedicine covers cutting-edge concepts including DNA-based manufacturing, quantum nanoscience applications, and the democratization of industrial capabilities through molecular manufacturing. The book presents compelling arguments for how these technologies might facilitate Global Health Care Equivalency – providing equitable access to advanced medical technologies regardless of wealth or geography.
Intended for researchers, healthcare professionals, policy makers, and technology enthusiasts who are interested in the convergence of nanotechnology, nanomedicine, and artificial intelligence, this book explores how emerging technologies will revolutionize healthcare delivery worldwide.

NanoMedical Brain/Cloud Interface – Explorations and Implications
This book explores the future hypothetical possibility that the cerebral cortex of the human brain might be seamlessly, safely, and securely connected with the Cloud via a Brain/Cloud Interface (B/CI). Such an envisaged nanomedically facilitated cognitive augmentation may consist of a highly integrated network of sophisticated autonomous neuralnanorobotic devices coupled with advanced AI toward the enablement of instantaneous and finely controllable connectivity with the Virtual Cloud. In conjunction with a description of some technical aspects of a B/CI, this book also delves into its ethical, moral, sociological, legal, and philosophical implications. A fully developed, ubiquitously techtrust-accepted and implemented B/CI, may emerge as nothing less than the next evolutionary step for humanity, where we seamlessly merge with our technologies.
Key features: * Descriptions of how neuralnanorobotics may facilitate a B/CI. * Discussions of state-of-the-art technologies in brain/machine and brain/computer interfaces. * In depth assessment of a broad array of potential implications of ubiquitous B/CI’s on humanity. * Introduction of what might emerge as an unprecedented and powerful application of a B/CI, referred to as “Transparent Shadowing”. * Recommendations toward the establishment of prudent development and regulatory policies toward a safe, secure, optimized, and positive B/CI technology/infrastructure for the benefit of humanity and the planet.
Global Health Care Equivalency in the Age of Nanotechnology, Nanomedicine and Artificial Intelligence
This groundbreaking volume explores the vision of a Global Health Care Equivalency (GHCE) system powered by artificial intelligence and quantum computing technologies, operating on secure quantum-encrypted blockchains to create an equitable and decentralized healthcare framework accessible to all people worldwide.
Readers will gain profound insights into how emerging technologies can transform global healthcare delivery through detailed analyses of quantum encryption, blockchain implementation, and AI-driven diagnostics. The book presents a comprehensive roadmap for achieving healthcare equity, offering practical frameworks for technological integration, ethical considerations for implementation, and strategies for overcoming geopolitical barriers to create a truly universal healthcare system.
This visionary work is essential reading for healthcare policy makers, medical technology researchers, AI and quantum computing specialists, global health advocates, and graduate students in healthcare administration, biomedical engineering, and international development. It will particularly benefit professionals working at the intersection of healthcare and emerging technologies who seek to address global health disparities.
