The new Elsevier book, Control Applications for Biomedical Engineering Systems,
consists of 14 contributed chapters by subject experts who are specialized in the various topics addressed in this book. The special chapters have been brought out in this
book after a rigorous review process in the broad areas of control engineering and biomedical systems. Special importance was given to chapters offering practical solutions and novel methods for the recent research problems in the mathematical modeling and control applications of biomedical systems. This book presents some of the latest innovative approaches to medical diagnostics and procedures as well
as clinical rehabilitation from a point of view of dynamic modeling, system analysis,
and control.
The goal of this book is to provide a forum for latest research in biomedical signal
measurement and processing, dynamic modeling, analysis, and control for clinical
diagnosis, patient health monitoring, drug administration, and biosignal-assisted rehabilitation. There has been a significant increase in research activities in these areas
within diverse specialties, including mechanical, electrical, and biomedical engineering. Developing sensors to produce appropriate biosignals, developing dynamic
models of biosystems and biosignals for diagnostics, and using biosignals as feedback
in controlled processes such as drug delivery and rehabilitation are some of the biggest
challenges encountered in these engineering fields.
