Intra-Body Molecular Communication via Blood- Tissue Barrier for Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IOBNT)
Georgia Tech Professor Ian F. Akyildiz, discussing the internet of bio-nano things (IOBNT), explains how human bodies will be remotely reprogrammable by online hackers, causing death or creating “zombies”
The IoBNT project aims to develop a communication platform for connecting the human body to future 6G networks and is funded by taxpayers across the globe
In the Intra-body nano networks, the bio-nanomachines enter the body through injection into the blood and then navigate autonomously throughout the body to reach the blood capillary network. The blood tissue barrier inside the body forms the main communication pathway for molecular information exchange between the nanomachines as well as between the intra-body nano network and the Bio-Cyber interface in the IoBNT network. Watch the video to learn more about how the Brain Tissue Barrier, the Blood Brain barrier, the Intra-body nanonetwork, and The Bio-Cyber interface all work together in this research in mimicking biology for nano communication.

What is “informed consent?” You really thought those words meant something? Think again.

The IOBNT is not even particularly new. Hopefully you weren’t distracted enough to think Elon’s Neuralink was anything more than primitive technology.

The IoE (internet of everything) aims to network everything around and even within us, which will lead to interfaces that are spread all the way from macro to nano scales. While several macro scale IoE implementations exist, the advances in nanotechnology and communication engineering paved the way for a proposal for Internet of NanoThings (IoNT) based on synthesized materials, electronic circuits, and interaction through electromagnetic waves.

Although, IoNT (internet of nano things) systems can be used in a number of scenarios, their biocompatibility remains an issue for intra-body deployment. Thus, the Internet of Bio-Nano Things (IoBNT) proposal was brought forward. Under the IoE framework, IoBNT architecture revolves around establishing the capability to communicate and to network with biological systems, which can be used to perform operations such as intra-body sensing, actuation, and connectivity control.
