Smart Healthcare for Disease Diagnosis and Prevention

Smart Healthcare for Disease Diagnosis and Prevention focuses on the advancement in healthcare technology to improve human health at all levels using smart technologies. It covers all necessary topics from basic concepts (such as signal and image processing) to advanced knowledge on topics such as tissue engineering, virtual and intelligent instrumentation (or VLSI) and Embedded Systems. This book can be used to guide students and young researchers, providing basic knowledge on signal/image processing and smart technologies. Users will find a perfect blend of the interdisciplinary approach to biomedical engineering.
The book considers many technical concepts, emerging technologies, real-world healthcare applications, and many other technical, multidisciplinary notions in the same content. Finally, it systemically introduces the technologies and devices for healthcare objects and targets disease diagnosis and prevention in different views.

Discusses how new advanced technologies are used in real healthcare applications to improve patient safetyExplores how medical data such as signals and images can be used in diagnosisCovers how wireless communications devices, such as sensor networks, RFID, wireless body area network, and wearable sensors are used in the medical environment
