Abstract

Background: Biophysics is continuously transforming healthcare by integrating physical science with medicine based on disease detection, treatment, and sustainability. In terms of global health, the incidence of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer, as well as infectious diseases like malaria, tuberculosis, and COVID-19 have increased from 2000 to 2023.The number of patients is increasing, but there are many differences in the treatment patient diseases. This study explores the importance of biophysics in improving healthcare by understanding disease differences between various populations, structuring healthcare, permanently improving healthcare based on treatment outcomes. Methods: A longitudinal data set has been created from 2000 to 2023, collecting government statistics. Countries from all continents are included here. The health situation is assessed using statistics such as how many people have died (mortality rate%),how widespread the disease is (rate%),how many doctors and beds are in hospitals for every 1,000 people. The relationship between healthcare and disease symptoms, outcomes, and socioeconomic development has been examined. Results: Data suggests that the development of vaccines has reduced deaths from infectious diseases, but chronic diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular disorders have contributed to an increase in Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs). COVID-19 temporarily increased the global mortality rate to 6.2% in 2020. Countries with better education and healthcare, with more than 5 doctors per 10,000 people, had a recovery rate of over 90%.On the other hand, in low-income countries, many have to bear medical costs exceeding 40% of their per capita income due to poor infrastructure. Advanced imaging, nanomedicine, and personalized medicine have ensured ease of access to healthcare (high access of up to 98%). The average growth rate over the last 20 years was 4.8%, but there were large differences between developed and developing regions. Conclusion: Biophysics plays a key role in disease detection, developing new methods sustainability of healthcare, developing medical imaging that has improved patient outcomes. However, infrastructure deficiencies, limited access, and high costs are becoming major obstacles to global progress. Investment in preventive technologies to strengthen services and reduce chronic diseases in low-income countries.
