Abstract
Drug delivery devices which can control the release of drugs on demand allow for improved treatment to a patient. These smart drug delivery devices allow for the release of drugs to be turned on and off as needed, thereby increasing the control over the drug concentration within the patient. The addition of electronics to the smart drug delivery devices increases the functionality and applications of these devices. Through the use of 3D printing and 3D-printed electronics, the customizability and functions of such devices can also be greatly increased. With the development in such technologies, the applications of the devices will be improved. In this review paper, the application of 3D-printed electronics and 3D printing in smart drug delivery devices with electronics as well as the future trends of such applications are covered.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of Bioprinting is a globally recognized publication that focuses on the advancements, scientific discoveries, and practical implementations of Bioprinting. Bioprinting, in simple terms, involves the utilization of 3D printing technology and materials that contain living cells or biological components to fabricate tissues or other biotechnological products. Our journal encompasses interdisciplinary research that spans across technology, science, and clinical applications within the expansive realm of Bioprinting.
