Abstract

Technological breakthroughs in the fields of nano-fabrication have enabled us to realize miniaturized communication systems. Nano-scale pervasive sensing is a vision through which vital physiological data of a patient are captured with the help of self-powered nano-sensors that are positioned on human skin. The collected data can then be used for a variety of diagnostic purposes. This chapter deals with the challenges involved in the deployment of these nano-scale sensing networks. Specifically, we discuss the terahertz frequency electromagnetic wave propagation on human skin with the help of which nano-scale communication takes places.
