Abstract

Healthcare sector is probably the most benefited from the applications of nanotechnology. The nanotechnology, in the forms of nanomedicine, nanoimplants, nanobiosensors along with the internet of nano things (IoNT), has the potential to bring a revolutionizing advancement in the field of medicine and healthcare services. The primary aim of this paper is to explore the clinical and medical possibilities of these different implementations of nanotechnology. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of nanotechnology, biosensors, nanobiosensors, and IoNT. Furthermore, multilevel taxonomies of nanotechnology, nanoparticles, biosensors, nanobiosensors, and nanozymes are presented. The potential medical and clinical applications of these technologies are discussed in details with several examples. This paper specifically focuses on IoNT and its role in healthcare. In addition to describing a general architecture of IoNT for healthcare, the communication architecture of the IoNT is also explained. The challenges in the successful realization of IoNT are also discussed critically, along with a special discussion on internet of bio-nano things (IoBNT) and its potential in making IoNT more compatible to human body.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The smaller entities in the world have always enticed the imagination of humans, which led to discovering the magnifying lens, following the basic microscopes. Dutta Pramanik et al.: Advancing Modern Healthcare With Nanotechnology, Nanobiosensors, and IoNT (or biosensors) has revolutionized the practice of diagnosis and treatment In another light, a new revolutionizing technological paradigm known as IoT (Internet of Things) is set to change the way we interact with our surroundings and the physical entities in our daily life. IoT aims to access and possibly control every object remotely, be it an electronic device or kitchen appliance or smart building equipment or apparatus in a production house or automobile or any other device These objects are stuffed with small sensors and actuators, which helps the object in which they are embedded to sense the condition within or outside of it.
