“…Their use will not only be medical at the cellular level but industrial, for example in filtration work such as water purification or for dialysis. The overcoming of a major obstruction of IoBNT will follow from the seamless merger of IoNT with existing health-based IoT systems as well as networks [27]. The application of IoBNT, being stemmed from synthetic biology as well as the utilization of nanotechnology tools to enable the engineering of biological embedded computing devices [28], will reduce the risk of undesired effects on health and/or the environment.…”

The current statuses and future promises of the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE) and Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) are extensively reviewed and a summarized survey is presented. The analysis clearly distinguishes between IoT and IoE, which are wrongly considered to be the same by many commentators. After evaluating the current trends of advancement in the fields of IoT, IoE and IoNT, this paper identifies the 21 most significant current and future challenges as well as scenarios for the possible future expansion of their applications. Despite possible negative aspects of these developments, there are grounds for general optimism about the coming technologies. Certainly, many tedious tasks can be taken over by IoT devices. However, the dangers of criminal and other nefarious activities, plus those of hardware and software errors, pose major challenges that are a priority for further research. Major specific priority issues for research are identified.

A través de los años, los avances tecnológicos han llevado a un rápido crecimiento de entornos inteligentes (oficinas, hogares, ciudades, etc.). El aumento de entornos inteligentes sugiere la interconectividad de las aplicaciones y el uso de la Internet. Por esta razón, surge lo que se conoce como Internet de las cosas (IoT, por sus siglas en inglés). La ampliación del concepto IoT brinda acceso a la Internet de las nano cosas (IoNT, por sus siglas en inglés), un nuevo paradigma de redes de comunicación basado en nanotecnología y IoT, en otras palabras, un paradigma con la capacidad de interconectar dispositivos a nano escala a través de redes existentes. Este nuevo paradigma denominado IoNT se presenta al mundo como una opción para diversos campos de aplicación. Por lo tanto, surgen nuevos desafíos y oportunidades de investigación. En consecuencia, este trabajo tiene como objetivo investigar el estado del arte y analizar las tendencias para el uso de IoNT, su aplicación y los desafíos futuros en diferentes campos de interés social, debido a que IoNT se presenta como una opción para la investigación con las capacidades necesarias para involucrarse en muchos campos del bienestar social. Se concluye que la literatura actual de IoNT está prevalecida por las tecnologías, las aplicaciones se enfocan en el cuidado de la salud y no se dispone de una estandarización internacional en cuanto a la privacidad, seguridad o la arquitectura de las nano redes. Palabras Clave: Internet de las nano cosas, Internet de las cosas, nanotecnología, nano redes, nano comunicación.Over the years, technological advancements have led to rapid growth of smart environments (offices, homes, cities, etc.). The increase of intelligent environments suggests the interconnectivity of applications and the use of the Internet. For this reason, arise what is known as the Internet of Things (IoT). The expansion of the IoT concept gives access to the Internet of Nano Things (IoNT). A new communication networks paradigm based on nanotechnology and Revista e-Ciencias de la Información revista.ebci@ucr.ac.cr | http://revistaebci.ucr.ac.cr | ISBN 1659-4142 4IoT, in other words, a paradigm with the capacity to interconnect nano-scale devices through existing networks. This new paradigm so-called IoNT is presented to the world as an option for various fields of application. Therefore, new challenges and research opportunities have arisen. Consequently, this work aims to investigate state of the art and analyze trends for the use of IoNT, its application and future challenges in different fields of social interest, because IoNT is presented as an option for research with the capacities needed to get involved in many fields of social welfare. It is concluded that technologies prevail current IoNT literature, applications are focused on health care, and there is no international standardization regarding privacy, security or architecture of nano-networks.

We developed a design of Intelligent Healthcare Data Management System using nanosensors (IHDMS) and composed an application for mobile device. The proposed IHDMS will coordinate the healthcare data of the patients from nanosensors and transforms it into a worldwide consumed standard HL7 (Health Level Seven) for conversion of healthcare data. This converted data dispatches to a server of its system. The battery lifetime of the facility is feasible to increase, the memory usage is less than 100 KB, and it operates all data by employing few and far between resources. Moreover, the proposed system decreases the waiting time in the transposing data, and secured channel was used for the server of the healthcare center in the running HL7 format data.
