This volumes presents the proceedings of ICIBEL 2015, organized by the Centre for Innovation in Medical Engineering (CIME) under Innovative Technology Research Cluster, University of Malaya. It was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, from 6-8 December 2015.

The ICIBEL 2015 conference promotes the latest researches and developments related to the integration of the Engineering technology in medical fields and life sciences. This includes the latest innovations, research trends and concerns, challenges and adopted solution in the field of medical engineering and life sciences.

Two mega-trends of modern culture, the rapid aging of the population and the inexorable advances in technology, have fueled the development of gerontechnology--the use of technology to sustain individual autonomy to an advanced age. This expansive book encompasses state-of-the-art research in gerontechnology and promising new technologies, products, and services that can improve activities of daily living, general health, and wellbeing of older individuals. It addresses current and future applications in such crucial areasas mobility and transportation, assistive devices, smart homes for...

This book provides a complete overview of significant design challenges in respect to circuit miniaturization and power reduction of the neural recording system, along with circuit topologies, architecture trends, and (post-silicon) circuit optimization algorithms. The introduced novel circuits for signal conditioning, quantization, and classification, as well as system configurations focus on optimized power-per-area performance, from the spatial resolution (i.e. number of channels), feasible wireless data bandwidth and information quality to the delivered power of implantable...

This book introduces readers to volatile compounds of staple foods, while also systematically highlighting the processing technologies of potato staple foods, which will be of great importance in promoting the virtuous circle and structural upgrading of Potato consumption patterns are gradually changing from fresh to processed formulations, (e.g. mashed potatoes, potato chips, etc.) as a result of fast food habits adopted from developed countries. If the potato can be used to make staple foods, it will not only provide energy, but also nutrition.

The New York Times Science Bestseller from Robert Wachter, Modern Healthcare's #1 Most Influential Physician-Executive in the US

While modern medicine produces miracles, it also delivers care that is too often unsafe, unreliable, unsatisfying, and impossibly expensive. For the past few decades, technology has been touted as the cure for all of healthcare's ills.

But medicine stubbornly resisted computerization - until now. Over the past five years, thanks largely to billions of dollars in federal incentives, healthcare has finally gone digital.

Yet...

Nanotechnology-Based Approaches for Targeting and Delivery of Drugs and Genes provides an overview of the important aspects of nanomedicine in order to illustrate how to design and develop novel and effective drug delivery systems using nanotechnology.

The book is organized into three sections, beginning with an introduction to nanomedicine and its associated issues. Section two discusses the latest technologies in nanomedicine, while the third section covers future developments and challenges in the field.

By focusing on the design, synthesis, and application of a...

A revolution is transforming the $10 trillion healthcare landscape. Spurred by new laws, new data, and new analytical tools, the way care is delivered is changing radically. Healthcare was once characterized by secrecy, the jealous guarding of patient records, and -the doctor knows best- attitude. But we are quickly moving to a system were troves of data are being combined and mined to determine the best treatments for particular patients and better management of their overall health. In this new landscape, data will determine who gets which treatment. It will also separate the winners...
