Biomaterials and the Internet of Things (IoT) in Smart Drug Delivery Systems

The convergence of biomaterials and the Internet of Things (IoT) has opened new frontiers in the N9development of smart drug delivery systems (SDDS). This paper explores the synergistic relationship between these two rapidly evolving fields, highlighting how innovative biomaterial designs, coupled with IoT connectivity, are transforming the landscape of personalized medicine. We delve into the fundamental principles of smart drug delivery, review various types of biomaterials employed, and discuss the integration of IoT sensors, actuators, and communication networks for real-time monitoring and controlled drug release. The benefits, challenges, and future prospects of this interdisciplinary approach are examined, emphasizing its potential to enhance therapeutic efficacy, improve patient adherence, and reduce healthcare costs.
