Abstract :
The recent years have been marked by a surge of interdisciplinary collaborations among scientists, engineers, researchers, and medical practitioners focused on solving complex problems in medicine and related fields. These activities have resulted in the development of bio-inspired silicon, neural prosthetics, image processing systems, sensors and intravenous drug delivery devices that support diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease in patients. The IEEE circuits and systems (CAS) community has a track record of excellence and has played an active role in the research and design of these and other novel systems. This paper presents an overview of the life sciences and biomedical research under investigation within the biomedical CAS (BioCAS) technical committee.
