Abstract

As it is well-known the Internet of Things has been used in differents edges of society, fact that remarks the huge relevance of technologies based in Internet. However, with the advent of methodologies based at the synergy of engineering and medicine, the Internet of Things has dramatically evolved to the scenario in which some diseases might be under surveillance to distance. It is called the Internet of Bio-Nano Things and might also be seen as analogue to standard nanomedicine, but with the componenent of Internet. In this paper, attention has been paid on those cases where type-2 diabetes patients would exhibit the beginning of renal damage. This beginning is determined by the abundance of glucose dipoles passing through the renal glomerulus. Thus, the electrical interaction between these dipoles and bunches of albumin would be establishing the initial phase of renal damage. Thus, it is derived a models based in electrodynamics where albumin is governed by repulsive and attractive forces that pushes them out the spaces of urine formation. We apply electrodynamics to calculate the electric potential and fields. In the assumed scenario where a nanodevice is deployed in-situ then lux of albumin can be measured. Moreover, when nanodevice in paired with an external router, then Nephrologist can make diagnostic to distance. Thus, nanomedicine is redefined in terms of Internet of Bio-Nano Things In this paper, Monte Carlo simulations of these actions are done.  Some aspects related to quality of service are also presented.
