چکیده
In vivo wireless nanosensor networks (iWNSNs) consist of nanosized communicating devices, which can operate inside the human body in real time. iWNSNs are at the basis of transformative healthcare techniques, ranging from intra-body health monitoring systems to drug delivery mechanisms. In this talk, the state of the art and open challenges in the realization of iWNSNs will be presented. Novel insights will be provided regarding the realization of plasmonic nano-antennas suited for the size of the nanosensors, the development of a new intra-body channel mode that captures the electromagnetic peculiarities of the human body from the nanosensor perspective, as well as the implementation of novel protocols for iWNSNs that exploit the coupling and interference among nanosensors.
