Internet of Things for Advanced Targeted Nanomedical Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advanced Targeted Nanomedicine

Part of the book series: Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology ((NANOMED))

Abstract

The fundamental idea behind nanomedicine is to improve the efficiency of medical and healthcare systems using nanotechnology concepts, devices, tools, technologies and techniques. On the other hand, another nanotechnology offshoot, molecular communication engineering, considers the design and development of nano-scale devices and machines that can communicate by means of biochemical information exchange.
