The book introduces the research significance of biomedical instrumentation and discusses micro-fabrication techniques utilized for biomedical devices. This book primarily focuses on the reader enlightenment on MEMS medical devices by introducing all the diagnostic devices and treatment tools at one place. The book covers in-depth technical works and general introductions to the devices such that the book can reach technical as well as non-technical readers.
The significance of medical MEMS is increasing exponentially from past two decades. There exist numerous MEMS diagnostic devices for detection of blood pressure, glucose, TB, Hepatitis, etc. This is possible due to the multi-disciplinary fields fusing together to make a potent solution for the existing problems. MEMS has proven to be capable of paving bridge between medicine and engineering field, which helps in developing medical instruments. The controllability of sample volume, response time, and size of these devices is satisfactory. The research on the biomaterials to realize such medical devices has a huge scope in future. Furthermore, the book is aimed to study different microfluidic devices. The microfluidics technology has vast number of medical applications ranging from µTAS, drug delivery, DNA sequencing, cancer and COVID-19 detection, and organ on chip. Presently, organ-on-chip technology is prevailing in the scientific community, it can be expected that within a decade there will be marketed microphysiological devices. Microfluidics is capable of regenerating any organ functional physiology and pathophysiology which can be useful in disease diagnosis and organ replacement as well. The present book focuses on the past developments and future research directions in MEMS and microfluidic medical device field, the research available currently on these instruments is intriguing. Though there were plenty of marketed devices, MEMS technology has not yet been explored to its potential. This book primarily focuses on the reader’s enlightenment on MEMS medical devices by introducing all the diagnostic devices and treatment tools at one place. The book covers in-depth technical works and general introductions to the devices such that the book can reach technical and general audience as well. In addition, the fabrication techniques of bio-MEMS and bio-microfluidic devices will also be elaborated, which makes the book a complete guide from device development to fabrication stages.
The Chapter 1 explains how Nano/Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (N/MEMS) can be enabling technology toward a sustainable, scalable, ultra-miniaturized, easy-to-use, energy-efficient, and integrated bio/chemical sensing system. This study provides a deeper insight into the fundamentals, recent advances, and potential end applications of N/MEMS sensors and integrated systems to detect and measure the concentration of biological and/or chemical analytes. Transduction principle/s, materials, efficient designs, including readout technique, and sensor performance are explained. This is followed by a discussion on how N/MEMS biosensors continue to evolve. The challenges and possible opportunities are also discussed.
