With the rapid progress in science, there is the good technological development of sensors and instrumentation systems, in the industry, engineering, medicine, and other scientific fields. However, more sophisticated sensor systems are still required to be developed for fast measurement in an intelligent manner.

In the present talk, the development of new nano-ultrasonic and nano-acoustic sensor systems is discussed for measurements in a reliable manner for remote monitoring and control of the health of say, old age patients living in remote or hilly areas.

Advanced acoustic/ultrasonic biomedical sensors and IoT-based systems are presented for healthcare applications, with the main emphasis on telehealth. The newly developed diagnostic and therapeutic devices, generally,  by using RFID chips, nano-scale or sensor-enabled radio technologies, and appropriate sensor networks would be easily used in solving the problems of mainly unexplored diseases, as well as for controlling the quality of medicines, drugs, equipment and physiological event monitoring systems.

WSN (Wireless Sensor Networking) is preferred to be used here with the sensing devices for remote applications.
