Your intuition here is great.

1. Nano bots -- no idea; outside my wheelhouse.

2. Liquid Biopsy -- many companies are working on diagnostic tests to detect cancer early, monitor treatment, detect recurrence, etc. Some of these products are already available but most are in R&D phase.

3. Immuno-Oncology -- the most promising development in cancer treatment in a long time. Successful tumors evade the immune system by essentially hiding themselves. Many companies are working on treatments to assist immune system in different ways. Some products have been in the market for a while now and have been pretty successful.

There is tremendous potential in Immuno-Oncology. I worked with umbilical cord blood [hematopoietic stem cell] transplants and this area really has tremendous potential for tech that only started being used in the late 80s to 90s. IMO much of the immediate potential for progress in software development will be with the legal and ux itself of ten tech though. Apart from a few companies the software is old, buggy, and has not or will be very slowly updated.

One idea that comes to mind is making vastly improved LIMS and electronic patient recodkeeping software, as what is presently being used [bbcs] is from the 80s although this could be accomplished with just a front end written for it.
