Biosignal Properties

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

The term Biosignal refers to all the signals that are being generated in the human body or any other living organism or more specifically it is used to represent all those signals from living organisms that are monitored to obtain certain useful information. Primarily, the term refers to signals that are electrical in nature but, [...]

Modelling different types of Biomedical Devices

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Biomedical devices are those electrical devices that are used in medicine to carry out various tests on the human body. A lot of research has been performed in this field and as a result, these devices have become indispensable as far as medicine is concerned.
Let us have a look at some of the tasks that [...]

Contact lenses with circuits for superhuman vision

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Can you imagine having screen directly on your eye like movie characters from the Terminator or Bionic Woman? Maybe not for having virtual crosshairs or zoom in on far-off scenes, but for more practical use like having virtual displays for visual aids to help vision-impaired people, holographic driving control panels and even as a way [...]

Intestinal Robots

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

Intestinal robots are artificial electromechanical systems – robots – that were designed for exploring the inner cavities and organs of the body, particularly the intestines and other parts of the digestive tract.  Built to replace or provide an alternative to colonoscopy, currently the only option for taking a look inside the human body (this is [...]

Robotic Assistance for the Disabled

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Embedded devices – particularly digital ones – that are specially designed to assist individuals with disabilities are often seen as the next step in that particular field of technology.  Such embedded devices generally have several advantages over the previous wave of embedded devices that have monitoring functions, control capabilities and the ability to access and [...]

Embedded Electronics in Space and Medicine

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Embedded medical and space systems make use of miniaturized computers that are designed and programmed to do only one or a very limited number of functions. Their minute size and very low energy demands allow them to be used in several environments. Combined with other systems, they can be used to create any [...]

The BrainSUITE neuro-imaging

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Brain tumors are one of the most difficult medical conditions to diagnose and treat. Brain surgery, for obvious reasons, is complicated and very risky. Luckily, modern day developments in the field of medicine can make performing brain tumor diagnosis and, more importantly, brain surgery easier and less risky. With a combination of [...]

Embedded Electronics in Medicinal and Biological Sciences

Thursday, November 8th, 2007

Embedded medical and biological application refers to the use of technology and computers for observing certain events or generating a response when certain events occur. ‘Embedded’ points to the fact that such devices are either small or very passive, or both, such that the subjects of the observations are not continuously aware of it.

Embedded Electronics in Prosthetic Limbs

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Advancement in embedded electronics has transformed the way people work, communicate and unwind. It has paved the way for the integration of home and office device networking so people can share, transfer and save data and information in rates that are faster than ever. It has also promoted safety, comfort and efficiency in [...]
