Die Rehabilitationstechnik verfolgt das Ziel, die Wiedereingliederung von behinderten Menschen in ihr familiares und berufliches Umfeld mit technischen Hilfsmitteln, Ubungs- und Assistenzsystemen zu unterstutzen.
Die in der Rehabilitationstechnik zum Ausgleich von funktionellen und gesundheitlichen Beeintrachtigungen genutzten Medizinprodukte werden direkt durch Betroffene oder durch Angehorige und Pflegende eingesetzt.

Der neunte Band behandelt umfassend das Themengebiet sensorgesteuerter und automatisch geregelter Therapiesysteme zur Wiederherstellung physiologischer Organfunktionen.
Der Fokus liegt dabei im interdisziplinaren Entwurf extra- und intrakorporaler technischer Systeme, die mit physiologischen Funktionssystemen des Korpers interagieren, kooperieren oder zum Teil diese sogar ersetzen.

The Case Studies in Medical Devices Design series consists of practical, applied case studies relating to medical device design in industry. These titles complement Ogrodnik's Medical Device Design and will assist engineers with applying the theory in practice. The case studies presented directly relate to Class I, Class IIa, Class IIb and Class III medical devices. Designers and companies who wish to extend their knowledge in a specific discipline related to their respective class of operation will find any or all of these titles a great addition to their library.

Materials for the Direct Restoration of Teeth focuses on the important role teeth play in our lives and how biomaterials scientists are ensuring that new dental materials are functional and esthetic.

As research in the field is shifting away from traditional materials like metal, and towards more advanced materials, such as resins and ceramics, this book on the subject of modern materials for the direct repair of teeth provides readers with a comprehensive reference.

The most pertinent modern dental materials and their properties and applications for the direct...

A prevailing excitement can be discerned in the medical and public health literature and popular media concerning the apparent disruptive or revolutionary potential of digital health technologies. Most of the wider social implications are often ignored or glossed over in such accounts. Critical approaches from within the social sciences that take a more measured perspective are important including those that focus on risk. The contributors to this volume examine various dimensions of risk in the context of digital health. They identify that digital health devices and software offer the...

New Frontiers in Biomedical Engineering will be an edited work taken from the 1st Annual World Congress of Chinese Biomedical Engineers - Taipei, Taiwan 2002.

As the economy develops rapidly in China and the Asian-Pacific population merges into the global healthcare system, many researchers in the West are trying to make contact with the Chinese BME scientists. At WCCBME 2002, invited leaders, materials scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and manufacturers from P.R. of China, Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong covered all...

The sixth volume in the biomedical engineering textbook series addresses the interdisciplinary field of health informatics. The book discusses its pragmatic applications in clinical information systems as well as medical bioinformatics in research.

Host Response to Biomaterials: The Impact of Host Response on Biomaterial Selection explains the various categories of biomaterials and their significance for clinical applications, focusing on the host response to each biomaterial. It is one of the first books to connect immunology and biomaterials with regard to host response.

The text also explores the role of the immune system in host response, and covers the regulatory environment for biomaterials, along with the benefits of synthetic versus natural biomaterials, and the transition from simple to complex biomaterial...

Droplet Wetting and Evaporation provides engineers, students, and researchers with the first comprehensive guide to the theory and applications of droplet wetting and evaporation.

Beginning with a relevant theoretical background, the book moves on to consider specific aspects, including heat transfer, flow instabilities, and the drying of complex fluid droplets.

Each chapter covers the principles of the subject, addressing corresponding practical issues and problems.

The text is ideal for a broad range of domains, from aerospace and materials, to biomedical...

B. pra- und intraoperative Bildgebung, Bildverarbeitung, Modellierung, Simulation, Navigation, Robotik, Surgical Cockpit, pra- und intraoperative Prozessoptimierung, Workflow Management und Informationsintegration im OP. Ausgewiesene Experten gehen in diesem Buch auf diese Aspekte ein.

Japan is suffering from a "device gap." Compared to its American and European counterparts, Japan lags in adopting innovative medical devices and making new treatments and procedures available to its patients. Many blame its government and bureaucracy for Japan's delayed access to modern medicine and new medical devices.

Christa Altenstetter examines the contextual social, historical, and political conditions of Japan's medical field to make sense of the state of the country's medical profession and its regulatory framework. She explores the development of regulatory frameworks and...

Biophysical Characterization of Proteins in Developing Biopharmaceuticals is concerned with the analysis and characterization of the higher-order structure (HOS) or conformation of protein based drugs. Starting from the very basics of protein structure this book takes the reader on a journey on how to best achieve this goal using the key relevant and practical methods commonly employed in the biopharmaceutical industry today as well as up and coming promising methods that are now gaining increasing attention.

As a general resource guide this book has been written with the...

Lab-on-a-chip devices for point of care diagnostics have been present in clinics for several years now. Alongside their continual development, research is underway to bring the organs and tissue on-a-chip to the patient, amongst other medical applications of microfluidics.

This book provides the reader with a comprehensive review of the latest developments in the application of microfluidics to medicine and is divided into three main sections. The first part of the book discusses the state-of-the-art in organs and tissue on a chip; the second provides a thorough background to...
