About this book
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
Readers will also find chapters on the ess
entials of clocking and timing circuits, pulse generator circuits, neural amplifiers, batteries, biomaterials and biocompatibility, and more. Unique to this book is also a chapter on cyber security and confidentiality concerns with implants. 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.
