Implantable Medical Electronics

Beschreibung

The extensively updated and expanded new edition of this book delves into the latest advancements in the field, presenting a comprehensive exploration of implantable medical devices. The first section on basic concepts and principles provides a thorough perspective on the electronics background necessary for this work. The second section on applications deals with pacing techniques used for the heart, brain, spinal cord, and the network of nerves that interlink the brain and spinal cord with the major organs, including ear and eye prostheses.

The four main offshoots of implantable electronics, which this book discusses, are:

• The insertion of an implantable neural amplifier for accurate recording of neural signals for neuroengineering studies;
• The use of implantable pulse generators for pacing the activities of diseased organs;
• The use of implantable sensors for observing the influence of therapy and monitoring a patient's biological parameters;
• The use of drug delivery systems to supervise the supply of accurate doses of medicine to affected parts.

This edition includes new chapters on smart contact lenses, eye implants, and wireless capsule endoscopy. Readers will also find chapters on clocking and timing circuits, pulse generator circuits, neural amplifiers, batteries, biomaterials, biocompatibility, and more. A unique highlight of this book is a dedicated chapter addressing the critical concerns of cybersecurity and confidentiality in implantable devices. End-of-chapter questions and exercises help readers apply the content to practical use, making this an ideal book for anyone wishing to learn more about implantable devices.

Implantable Medical Electronics: Prosthetics, Drug Delivery, and Health Monitoring is a comprehensive interdisciplinary resource for graduate students studying electrical engineering, electronic instrumentation, and biomedical engineering. It is also a practical, hands-on guide for academic researchers, professional engineers, practicing doctors, and paramedical staff.
