Antenna and Sensor Technologies in Modern Medical Applications [Book Review]

2021 
The role of engineering technologies in various aspects of human health and well-being is expanding at a remarkable rate. Whether it’s in routine health screening, diagnostics, monitoring, intraoperative guidance, delivery of treatments, drug and vaccine discovery, or just lifestyle enhancement, the ever-increasing importance of engineering technology is undeniable. In particular, devices and techniques that take advantage of electromagnetics (EM) principles are among the key enablers of medical technologies, providing otherwise-unavailable methods for information collection, information transmission, and treatment and intervention. The areas of influence of EM are numerous; we are not just talking about microwave imaging, which is perhaps one of the earliest applications of EM in biomedicine. There are many other innovative application areas that have emerged in the recent past, including implantable devices, new antenna materials for enhancing traditional applications, wireless power transfer, wearables, and the like.
