This book is about the design of a microcontroller based uroflowmetry device. The device collects urine in real time from a patient and then sends this data to a PC over a serial link. The PC draws the uroflow graph using the Matlab programming environment. The device is designed using the popular development kit "Ready for PIC," manufactured by mikroElektronika. This development kit uses the highly popular PIC16F887 microcontroller chip. The designed device can be used to diagnose possible urinary track problems.

Functional Stimulation Device developed and designed in this book is a microcontroller based electronic device that can be used to help people having drop-foot problems. The device can help such people to walk normally. Drop-foot is a condition where the patient suffering from this condition cannot walk properly as he or she cannot lift the leg from the ground to walk. The device designed in this book sends electrical pulses to the peroneal nerve position of the patient to enable him/her to walk normally.
