Engineering with Biomedical Sciences Changing the Horizon of Healthcare-A Review.

Abstract

In the dynamic realm of healthcare, the convergence of engineering and biomedical sciences has emerged as a pivotal frontier. In this review we go into specific areas of innovation, including medical imaging and diagnosis, developments in biomedical sensors, and drug delivery systems. Wearable biosensors, non-wearable biosensors, and biochips, which include gene chips, protein chips, and cell chips, are all included in the scope of the topic that pertains to biomedical sensors. Extensive research is conducted on drug delivery systems, spanning topics such as the integration of computer modeling, the optimization of drug formulations, and the design of delivery devices. Furthermore, the paper investigates intelligent drug delivery methods, which encompass stimuli-responsive systems such as temperature, redox, pH, light, enzyme, and magnetic responsive systems. In addition to that, the review goes into topics such as tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, biomedical robotics, automation, biomechanics, and the utilization of green biomaterials. The purpose of this analysis is to provide insights that will enhance continuing research and development efforts in engineering-driven biomedical breakthroughs, ultimately contributing to the improvement of healthcare. These insights will be provided by addressing difficulties and highlighting future prospects.
