Claims20
A method comprising:
- deploying a plurality of nano-nodes in or on a user;
- receiving information, at a nano-micro device, from the plurality of nano-nodes, wherein the information includes force information based on an impact;
- and
- communicating an alert signal to a wearable device configured to alert the user based on the force information, wherein at least one nano-node of the plurality of nano-nodes includes a communication device configured to utilize in vivo communication including electrical current induction to communicate with the nano-micro device.

A method comprising:
- deploying a plurality of nano-nodes in or on a user;
- receiving information, at a nano-micro device, from the plurality of nano-nodes, wherein the information includes force information based on an impact;
- communicating an alert signal to a wearable device configured to alert the user based on the force information;
- and
- taking an action based on the force information, wherein taking the action includes deploying a medication using a plurality of medication nano-nodes containing the medication, wherein the plurality of medication nano-nodes are deployed within the user, wherein taking the action further includes sending a medicate signal from the plurality of nano-nodes to the plurality of medication nano-nodes to deploy the medication, wherein each medication nano-node of the plurality of medication nano-nodes includes a plurality of chambers for storing a plurality of separate medications, wherein the plurality of separate medications comprise inert components of a medication which are activated when mixed upon release.

A method comprising:
- deploying a plurality of nano-nodes in or on a user;
- receiving information, at a nano-micro device, from the plurality of nano-nodes, wherein the information includes force information based on an impact;
- communicating an alert signal to a wearable device configured to alert the user based on the force information;
- and
- maintaining a distance, between at least one first nano-node in the plurality of nano-nodes and at least one second nano-node in the plurality of nano-nodes, below a threshold by detecting a signal strength, wherein the at least one first nano-node in the plurality of nano-nodes and/or the at least one second nano-node in the plurality of nano-nodes move independently in a direction toward a stronger signal by taking successive measurements.

A method comprising:
- deploying a plurality of nano-nodes in or on a user;
- receiving information, at a nano-micro device, from the plurality of nano-nodes, wherein the information includes force information based on an impact;
- and
- communicating an alert signal to a wearable device configured to alert the user based on the force information, wherein the plurality of nano-nodes include a plurality of chambers, a first chamber with water and a second chamber with a gel that expands when wet, wherein upon impact detection, the first chamber releases the water, and the second chamber releases the gel such that the water and the gel interact to provide extra cushion.
