Internet of Bio-nano Things for Diabetes Telemedicine System with Secured Access

Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) is the network of bio-nano devices and bio-nano nodes that are ingested in the human body to sense and transmit data from the human body for further processing. IoBNT deals with various issues such as whether the designated cells would be able to interact with smart devices or not and also aid in processing of the data collected. This requires studying in detail the IoBNT and also developing healthcare applications that can fully utilize the benefits of IoBNT—also referred to as nanomedicine. Further, with the advent of Telemedicine, it becomes imperative to combine the benefits of IoBNT and Telemedicine. The usage of IoBNT begins with the injectable design of the BNT implants that have the ability to recognize biochemical data from the bodies of humans and subsequently transmit the collected data to the wearable port outside the human body. This paper presents a study of IoBNT architecture with its components. It also discusses the utilization of bio-nano devices and bio-nano nodes for collecting real-time data when ingested in the human body. In this paper, a model has been proposed for remotely monitoring Diabetes in patients through IoBNT. The proposed Diabetic Telemedicine system will sense patients’ vitals via IoBNT and will transmit them to internet-based nanomedicine servers where they will be accessible to different stakeholders through a secured access. This proposed model promotes remote intrusive ways to investigate Diabetes through IoBNT.
