Advances in digital technologies have opened new opportunities for creating more reliable, time- and cost-effective, safer and mobile methods of diagnosing, managing and treating diseases. A few examples of advanced nano- and digital technologies are already FDA-approved for diagnosing and treating diseases. Plasma treatment is still emerging as a new healthcare technology, but it is showing a strong potential for treatment of many diseases including cancers and antimicrobial-resistant infections, with little or no adverse side effects. Here, we argue that with the ever-increasing complex healthcare challenges facing communities, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to consider combining unique properties of emerging healthcare technologies into a single multimodal treatment modality that could lead to unprecedented healthcare benefits. In this article, we focus on the healthcare opportunities created by establishing a nexus between plasma, nano- and digital technologies. We argue that the combination of plasma, nano- and digital technologies into a single multimodal healthcare package may significantly improve patient outcomes and comfort, and reduce the economic burden on community healthcare, as well as alleviate many problems related to overcrowded healthcare systems.
