ABSTRACT
The pursuit of improved diagnosis and incessant human health monitoring has given rise to thriving, active, and well-funded fields of study in device technologies. These include numerous areas that concentrate on various facets of sensor science and frequently involve interdisciplinary teams of engineers, biochemists, and doctors. The development of efficient point-of-care testing, implantable and nonimplantable technology for early detection, and ongoing monitoring are the dominant themes. Worldwide demand for accurate, cost-effective, and field-deployable biomedical devices has been rising as a result of expanding consumer healthcare consciousness. The term “biomedical devices” refers to a broad category of products with varying degrees of complexity and purpose. Biomedical devices are broadly categorized into a variety of diagnostic or therapeutic devices possessing several health hazards as established by regulatory bodies. Therefore, in this chapter, the focus is on the current state of the art in several pertinent fields such as device designing, biomolecular detection, material science, and nanoscience. It covers the latest technology used in/for the biomedical device industry that suggests how these advancements might be addressed to develop efficient systems for the diagnosis, monitoring, and possible cure of several human health hazards.
