The recent advancements in bio-engineering and wireless communications systems have motivated researchers to propose novel applications for telemedicine, therapeutics and human health monitoring. For instance, through wireless medical telemetry a healthcare worker can remotely measure biological signals and control certain processes in the organism required for the maintenance of the patient's health state. This technology can be further extended to use Bio-Nano devices to promote a real-time monitoring of the human health and storage of the gathered data in the cloud. This brings new challenges and opportunities for the development of biosensing network, which will depend on the extension of the current intrabody devices functionalities. In this paper we will cover the recent progress made on implantable micro-scale devices and introduce the perspective of improve them to foster the development of new theranostics based on data collected at the nanoscale level.
