“In November 2023 the International Telecommunication Union’s Radiocommunication sector (ITU-R) reached a consensus on the global vision for IMT-2030 (6G), which is expected to be a fundamental milestone in developing 6G. Notably, the ITU’s consultation process included countries all around the world.” Source

6G & The human body as an IoBNT infrastructure

According to the Technical University Berlin project description, the Internet of Bio-Nano-Things (IoBNT) “is tailored to coordinate monitoring and actuation in the human body through a communication platform that also connects nanodevices and external gateways. The IoBNT will integrate radio, ultrasonic, and molecular communication schemes in the context of 6G+ wireless networks.” The goal of the project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, is the “development of an IoBNT platform to interconnect the biologic domain of the human body with the digital domain of 6G+ networks.” Source

ITU Journal Internet of Bio-Nano-Things (IoBNT)

2021 ITU Special issue article states: “IoBNT is positioned to extend our connectivity and control over non-conventional domains (e.g., human body) with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution, enabling paradigm-shifting applications, particularly in the healthcare domain, such as intrabody continuous health monitoring and theranostic systems with single molecular precision.”

“As Internet of Things (IoT) approaches technological maturity with growing number of applications on the market, new integrative ideas emerge to push the current boundaries of IoT and extend its application range. One such approach follows a holistic view and regards the universe as an interconnected entity which is to be observed, understood, and manipulated with new information and communication technologies (ICT). At the center of this approach lies an emerging ICT framework, the Internet of Bio-NanoThings (IoBNT), envisioning the heterogeneous collaborative networks of natural and artificial nano-biological functional devices (e.g., engineered bacteria, human cells, nanobiosensors), seamlessly integrated to the Internet infrastructure.” Source

Reactions triggered by external stimuli

“External energy‑mediated communications have also been widely studied to enable the small networks of
molecular and nanomachines. This form of interaction occurs through several biophysical phenomena,
such as pore formation and modulation of enzyme cascade reactions, which are triggered by external
stimuli such as light, chemicals, temperature, and electric and magnetic fields, and provides higher level
of spatiotemporal control compared to the diffusion‑mediated communication.” p.4

Nanobiosensors, nanomaterials, e.g., graphene, electric field-effect

“More importantly, field‑effect‑transistor [FET]‑based nanobiosensors provide a wide range of design options. For example, they can accommodate different types of nanomaterials, e.g., graphene, SiNW, CNT, as the transducer channel, the conductivity of which is modulated by the molecular concentration in its proximity through the alteration of the surface potential and electrical field‑effect.” p.6

the nervous system provides a ready infrastructure that can potentially connect nanomachines in distant parts of the body with each other and with the external devices…

“A part of the nervous system also senses external stimuli via sensory receptors and transmits the sensed information to the central nervous system, where a reaction is decided [5]. In that regard, the nervous system provides a ready infrastructure that can potentially connect nanomachines in distant parts of the body with each other and with the external devices. In fact, there are many proposal in this direction that both theoretically and experimentally investigate the idea of using the nervous system as an IoBNT backbone inside human body.” p.10

implantable THz nanoantenna acting as the transmitter and a biological protein as the receiver

“In light of the emerging reports on the EM‑based wireless control of cellular functions via speciϐic proteins that are
responsive to electromagnetic ϐields [130], a wireless link is proposed to connect THz‑band EM and MC modalities,
that can translate into an EM‑based nano‑macro interface[131]. The authors in [132], develop an information theoretical model for the mechanotransduction communication channel between an implantable THz nanoantenna
acting as the transmitter and a biological protein as the receiver undergoing a conformational change upon stimulation by the THz waves.” -p.12

Energy harvesting from human body

“Concerning the intrabody and body area applications, human body stands as a vast source of energy in the form of mechanical vibrations resulting from body movements, respiration, heartbeat, and blood flow in vessels, thermal energy resulting from body heat, and biochemical energy resulting from metabolic reactions and physiological processes.” -p.13

6G: The Intelligent Network of Everything

“The global 6G vision has taken its shape after years of international research and development efforts. This
work culminated in ITU-R’s Recommendation on “IMT-2030 Framework”. While the definition phase of technological requirements is currently ongoing, 3GPP’s standardization process on 6G networks is expected to start in 2025 and worldwide commercialization around 2030.” Source

UN ITU and World Health Organization (WHO) Digital Health Partnership to “Leave No One Behind”

“During the opening speech of the 144th session of the WHO Executive Board on 24 January 2020 in Geneva, Switzerland, the importance of digital health (and, particularly, AI for health) was reinforced: “the future of health will be influenced by digital health significantly [and WHO must] embrace it, but at the same time, WHO should be ahead of the curve in digital health, in order to contribute to global health […] working with the International Telecommunications Union to find new ways of using artificial intelligence to get care to remote communities” (WHO,
2020).” Source
