This paper summarizes the panel discussion at the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Point-of-Care Healthcare Technology Conference (POCHT 2013) held in Bangalore India from Jan 16–18, 2013. Modern medicine has witnessed interdisciplinary technology innovations in healthcare with a continuous growth in life expectancy across the globe. However, there is also a growing global concern on the affordability...
Microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are widely used for stimulating and receiving electrical signals between human and machines and for in vitro neural study. This work demonstrates the fabrication process of nanofibrous 3D microelectrodes using immersion lithography. Oil immersion negates the diffraction effects intrinsic in the photopatterning of electrospun nanofibers to give increased aspect ratio microarchitectures...
I recently had the opportunity to give a short talk describing the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS) to students and faculty of the University of Florida. While looking over background material, I came to appreciate how deep and long the roots of our Society travel and how strong and wide it currently stands.
Reliable two-way communication with the nervous system is one of the biggest challenges in the field of neural engineering. Many problems have prevented us to achieve this goal mostly involving the mechanical, biological and electrical interface between neural tissue and the man-made electrodes. Significant results have been achieved to interface with the brain directly and the current research is...
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the 35th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS). Our Annual Conference (known as EMBC) is a premier international conference in biomedical engineering, and has been strategically held in different locations around the world, for example, in San Diego (USA), Boston (USA), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Minneapolis...
Experiments were performed to test the hypothesis that viscoelastic properties of the swine myocardium are independent of heart rate (HR), preload (PL), and afterload (AL). Left ventricular pressure and aortic flow (AoF) waveforms were recorded in 13 swine. At different paced heart rates, an inferior vena caval occlusion (IVC) was used to reduce PL, then the IVC was released and simultaneously the...
The contribution of modern control theory to cell kinetics modeling is reviewed. Cell kinetics, the quantitative study of cancer growth, is based on the structure inherent in the biological system. The recent development of DNA data acquisition devices using flow microfluorometry makes possible the development and verification of models based on control theory, including model formulation, parameter...
