Opis

This book brings together the latest updates from various subareas of biomedical engineering, providing readers with a broad overview of the current state of the art and the technological trends to be refined in the coming years with the goal of improving human health. It shows the important advances in each subfield, rehabilitation technology, computational systems applied to health, and medical devices, with practical examples. It includes topics not covered in other books in the area, such as digital health, bioprinting, organs-on-a-chip, the open data paradigm, and electrical impedance tomography. It is a short and easy-to-read book, and provides bibliographic references for the reader to go deeper into their areas of interest. This book is aimed at a very broad group of professionals and students in biomedical engineering and related areas, seeking to contextualize and understand the latest scientific advances in each subfield of biomedical engineering, including neuroengineering, regenerative medicine, additive manufacturing orthosis, postural analysis of Parkinson's patients, modelling and simulation using biomechanical open data, regenerative medicine, advanced drug delivery systems, bioprinting, biophotonic and electrical impedance tomography.
