Abstract


 

Constant population growth influences of health care demands and needs for new, more advanced scientific solutions. Classical way of providing the health care services could be very robust. It requires new paradigm and technology for more effective solutions. Rapid development information and nano technologies change the health care system in total. It gives to the health care system a new, global domain – Internet of Nano Things (IoNT) and nanomedicine.

These two concepts are beginning to change the foundations of disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Future healthcare based on IoNT powered e-health systems will make health monitoring, diagnostics and treatment more personalized, timely and convenient. These improvements increase the availability and quality of medical care followed with radically reduced costs. Thus, analysis of this approach is highly important for future development of healthcare.

Keywords: healthcare, nanomedicine, nanotechnology, Internet of Nano Things
