Nanobionic humans: the future of nano-material-supported implants and wearable technologies

Abstract

This review article provides an overview of the topic “The nanobionic human: the future of nano-material-supported implants and wearable technologies”, examining this subject under various headings: human-machine interfaces, wearable technologies, biointegration and biocompatibility, ethical dimensions, and future perspectives. The article examines the topic of nanotechnology in human-machine interfaces from a transhumanism perspective, along with nanotechnology-supported implants and their orthopaedic and other applications under subheadings. The future expectations and challenges of these topics are also evaluated. The effects, performance, and uses of nanotechnology on human health are discussed under nanobionic wearable technologies. This study evaluates how human-computer integration is being redefined by nanotechnological advances from a transhumanism perspective. The Nanobionic Wearable Technologies section discusses the usage methods, application forms, benefits, and materials of smart textiles (nano-silver and nano-carbon-based conductive fabrics), nanosensors in health monitoring (glucose sensors, electrolyte sensors, heart and biomechanics), and piezoelectric sensors (sports science, military technologies, health sciences). The Biointegration and Biocompatibility section discusses the immunological response and biocompatibility of nanomaterials, explaining the working mechanisms and differences between hard and soft protein coronas and mentioning the Vroman effect. Tissue engineering and how nanoimplants can be integrated into the body are detailed, along with the extracellular matrix (ECM) structure. It explains how the repair mechanism of microcapsules works when nanoimplants are damaged. It discusses the uses, mechanisms, and areas of application of hydrogels when microcapsules are insufficient. The ethical dimension of nanobionic technologies discusses the ethical and human implications of these developments. It addresses cyber security, data security, socio-economic conditions, legal responsibilities in artificial intelligence decisions, and equal opportunities. The future perspectives section examines the future of nanotechnology and cyborg concepts. It discusses the revolutionary potential of this technology in the performance of personalised wearable nanotechnologies and their ethical implications. The conclusion provides an overview.
