Abstract

The development and deployment of ATN solutions require relentless interdisciplinary efforts in order to bring the system and its tremendous promises to reality. The level of the interdisciplinary commitment can encompass diverse fields such as nanotechnology, communication engineering, electronics, medical biology, systems biology, computational biology, synthetic biology, genetic engineering, molecular engineering, molecular/supramolecular chemistry, atomic/molecular physics, biophysics, bioelectronics, signal processing, information theory, advanced mathematics and translational science (Farokhzad and Langer in Adv Drug Deliv Rev 58:1456–1459, 2006, [1]). With this knowledge spread and planning, the design and development/fabrication of an ATN solution for a particular health challenge can be effectively achieved. It is therefore necessary to develop a framework that will serve as a guide for researchers through the design process and the steps in achieving the ATN goal. This exercise will eventually translate the ATN from the paper-based fundamental research, through the experimental stage to clinical reality.
