Abstract: 
This review explores the dynamic landscape of drug delivery systems, focusing on their profound impact on therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance. The integration of nanotechnology, RNA therapeutics, implantable devices, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence heralds a transformative era in precision medicine. Nanoparticles enable precise targeting, while RNA therapeutics offer molecular-level interventions. Implantable and injectable devices promise sustained release, enhancing patient compliance. 3D printing introduces personalized dosage forms, and artificial intelligence empowers data-driven adjustments to treatment plans. Collaboration and interdisciplinary research emerge as crucial drivers, ensuring the translation of innovative concepts into practical applications. From a global health perspective, these innovations address healthcare disparities, promising a future where medications are precisely delivered offering tailored and effective treatment options for diverse populations worldwide.
