دانلود کتاب Implantable sensor systems for medical applications

Implantable sensor systems for medical applications can greatly improve quality of life and medical care. Consequently this field is receiving considerable interest and investment. This book provides a wide-ranging overview of important aspects, challenges and recent developments in the area of implantable systems, focusing on sensor-based systems. Part one provides an overview of the core technologies that are fundamental to implantable systems, applicable for both sensor and actuator systems. This section describes how the appropriate choice of materials dictates device reliability and the human body's interaction with the implanted device. It discusses various newly developed materials and reviews assembly, coatings and packaging techniques for implantable devices, particularly at the micro- and nanoscale.  Subsequent sections discuss challenges that are faced during the development of implantable systems, critical aspects during operation, considerations of the regulatory framework and the pathway to the market and explore various applications of implantable systems, concentrating on how all the materials, technologies and processes are integrated and tested.
