Abstract

During past centuries, the human life has been changed for several times into the positive and negative directions. Several natural disasters and pandemic diseases in addition to dual industrial progresses with advantages and disadvantages and wars have always put serious effects on the quality of life and age duration for people of all other the world. Therefore, it seems that the science and engineering in their conventional mode and even their corresponding innovated technologies are not useful enough to save human life for feeling in normal mood. Based on such problems in both of health systems and other industrial issues, technologies based on Nano, Bio, Info, and Cogno have been innovated for improving the already available achievements in science and engineering to more applicable technology of NBIC convergence
