Biomedical Engineering Applications For People With Disabilities And The Elderly In The Covid-19 Pandemic And Beyond by Valentina Emilia Balas

Biomedical Engineering Applications for People with Disabilities and Elderly in a New COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyondpresents all the biomedical engineering applications in management of people with disabilities or for the elderly, to improve their quality of life and to extend life expectancy. This edited book covers all aspects of assistive technologies including Internet of Things (IoT), Telemedicine, e-Health, m-Health, Smart Sensors, Robotics, Devices for Rehabilitation and \"Serious\" Games. This book will be useful for bioengineers, computer science undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers and practitioners, biomedical engineering students, healthcare workers, and medical doctors. This volume introduces recent advances in biomaterials, sensors, cellular engineering, biomedical devices, nanotechnology, and biomechanics, as applied to care of the elderly and people with disabilities. The unique focus of this book is on the needs of this user base during emergency and disaster situations. The content includes risk reduction, emergency planning, response, disaster recovery, and needs assessment. The wide variety in topics this book presents offers readers multiple perspectives from a variety of disciplines. The key questions this book answers are, what challenges will the elderly and people with disabilities face during a pandemic, and how can new (or emerging) advances in biomedical engineering help with these challenges?Content includes coverage of smart protective care tools, disinfectants, sterilization equipment, and equipment for rapid and accurate COVID-19 diagnosisFocuses on the limitations and challenges faced by the elderly and people with disabilities in a pandemic situation, such as limitations on leaving their home or having carers and family visit their home; how can technology help?Discusses tools, platforms, and techniques for managing patients with COVID-19 | Biomedical Engineering Applications For People With Disabilities And The Elderly In The Covid-19 Pandemic And Beyond by Valentina Emilia Balas
