Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a surface sensitive method that results in the enhancement of Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces. The enhancement factor can be as much as 10 7 -10 15 , which allows the technique to be sensitive enough to detect single molecules. The rapid growth of pharmaceutical industries worldwide demands continuous development of efficient characterization techniques to detect the presence of the molecules at extremely low concentrations. SERS allows fast, sensitive detection of trace levels of key pharma molecules. This review highlights the requirements for SERS and its applications for pharmaceutical characterization.

Abstract. This paper describes how simple portable devices could eliminate water pathogens by using Silver Nanoparticles, based on their antimicrobial properties. Recent studies indicated that silver nanoparticles can achieve up to 100% antibacterial activity removal. Results are showing that Silver Nanoparticles retention in the filter structure, E. coli bacteria removal, water quality and water flow rate must be evaluated as main efficiency indicators of the designed filters, in order to obtain the optimal filter. To apply the antimicrobial property of Silver in drinking-water treatment, a filter is produced using Additive Manufacturing techniques and coated with different concentrations of silver solutions.

“…The synthesis and utilization of gold nanoparticles are discussed in detail in [17], while the authors of [15] and [16] highlight the application of nanosilver particles in medicine. It is important to note that gold nanoparticles conjugated with conventional drugs can minimize side effects of drugs [14]. Likewise, silver nanoparticles show positive effects in various wound treatments (e.g., burns, chronic ulcers, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and pemphigus) which mainly consists in significantly shorter woundhealing time [16].…”

Cómo citar / How to cite M. Maksimović, The roles of nanotechnology and internet of nano things in healthcare transformation. TecnoLógicas, vol. 20, no. 40, pp. 139-153, 2017 AbstractHealthcare, as a basic human right, did not remain immune to innovative technologies. Technological progress has significantly contributed to high-quality, on-time, acceptable and affordable healthcare. Since their appearance, nanotechnology and the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT) have continuously affected healthcare and have a tremendous influence on its transformation, contributing to the better outcome. The inclusion of nanotechnology in medicine through nanomaterials and nanodevices, known as nanomedicine, has brought numerous benefits in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. Going further by connecting nanodevices to the Internet, the IoNT paradigm has been created. The inclusion of IoNT concepts in healthcare has resulted in more personalized, timely, and convenient health monitoring and treatment. Hence, nanotechnology and the IoNT hold the potential to completely revolutionize healthcare in the 21 st Century, creating a system that will enable early disease detection and diagnosis followed by accurate, on-time and effective treatment with significantly reduced healthcare costs. This paper presents the roles of nanotechnology and IoNT in medicine and healthcare, and attempts to gain an insight of nanoscale solutions and approaches, highlighting benefits and discussing potential risks and concerns. Despite concerns regarding nanotoxicity, privacy and security issues, it is anticipated that nanotechnology and IoNT will show their full potential in medicine and healthcare in the years to come.
