Overview

Bioelectronics refers to a field of research that lies at the convergence of electronics and biology. It deals with implants and electronic devices utilized in medicine and healthcare. Bioelectronics involves the development and research of bio-inspired organic and inorganic materials along with bio-inspired hardware architectures to be used in novel information processing actuators, sensors, and systems. Organic materials are potent instruments in the field of bioelectronics because of their ionic and electronic conduction ability. Bioelectronics is the application of electrical engineering principles in the fields of medicine, biology, health, and behavior. It improves fundamental concepts and generates knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems levels. It also creates new devices or processes for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases, in addition to improving health and rehabilitating the patients. Medical devices such as biocomputer and biosensors, which comprise direct and intimate interface of biological systems and electronics, are considered bioelectronic devices. Bioelectronic medical devices may enable the targeted treatment of chronic diseases and possibly decrease the side effects by specifically stimulating distinct nerves. This book aims to shed light on the fabrication and applications of bioelectronics and medical devices. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
