Bioelectronics

Bioelectronics uses electronics and computer systems in biology and medicine, and explores how biological materials can help solve information-processing challenges. While its main influence is evident in biomedical sensing and equipment, this field extends to various existing and potential applications of electronics in biology. Additionally, it explores the use of organic materials to tackle information-processing hurdles. It is a relatively new frontier for the attention of electronic and computer engineers, but its importance can only increase with the passage of time. 

1. To analyse physical measurements and sensor features for health-related variables such as vital signs, metabolism, and physical condition.

2. To create electronic instruments and software for biosignal processing and event detection related to clinical data interpretation.

3. To design and conduct experiments, as well as measure, analyse, interpret and present data from living systems.

4. To model and analyse biological systems using the techniques of electronic and control engineering.

5. To analyse the connection between biological and micro/nanoelectronic materials, including the use of organic electronic material for such interfacing.

6. To explain commercial, regulatory, ethical and practical hurdles in the development of medical device electronics.
