A SURVEY OF APPLICATIONS FOR TECHNOLOGY IN BIOLOGY AND MEDICINE

摘要

Many current medical problems could benefit from the application of engineering principles and practices. Some of the obstacles that now hinder the advancement of medicine and the delivery of health care can be overcome by modern technology and have been identified during the study reported here.nThis brief, limited survey attempts an overview of the interdis¬ciplinary research of engineers, life scientists, and physicians. Much of the information presented comes directly from conversations with these researchers and reflects what they believe to be the problems of medicine which engineers can aid in solving.
