Abstract :
As people live longer in the new millennium, it becomes a necessity to develop affordable technologies to improve the quality of life. This paper provides an overview of such techniques in drug delivery and clinical care, namely: (i) health care from organ functions to the cell behaviors; (ii) the development of implantable biosensors and instrumentation; (iii) the process and visualization systems; and (iv) nanotechnology for drug delivery. The goal is to stimulate cross-disciplinary research in the circuits and systems society aimed towards optimal clinical care and personalized therapeutic intervention.
