Nanodevices for biomedical applications

Abstract With the world maturing, constant infections are turning into significant reasons for death around the globe. The chronic diseases are taking millions of lives every year. The perception about chronic disease is that if people can be diagnosed early, it is better for the patient to get treatments. A couple examples are blood glucose level and arrhythmia. To monitor these chronic diseases regularly is difficult. That is why implantable or wearable devices came into the picture in the form of a body sensor network. In this chapter, we focus on various implantable devices, how the power is managed using a wireless power system, and how the memories are managed in these devices with the help of nanodevices like complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor and fin field effect transistor (FinFET). In this chapter, you will find the memories for implantable devices using nanodevices. How image sensors find extensive use in biomedical applications where images are captured and analyzed for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes is also discussed.
