Academic Press Biomedical Engineering Tools for Management for Patients with COVID-19

Biomedical Engineering Tools for Management of Patients with COVID-19 presents biomedical engineering tools under research (and in development) that can be used for the management of COVID-19 patients, along with BME tools in the global environment that curtail and prevent the spread of the virus. BME tools covered in the book include new disinfectants and sterilization equipment, testing devices for rapid and accurate COVID-19 diagnosis, Internet of Things applications in COVID-19 hospitals, analytics, Data Science and statistical modeling applied to COVID-19 tracking, Smart City instruments and applications, and more. Later sections discuss smart tools in telemedicine and e-health. Biomedical engineering tools can provide engineers, computer scientists, clinicians and other policymakers with solutions for managing patient treatment, applying data analysis techniques, and applying tools to help the general population curtail spread of the virus. Review Examines the applications of biomedical engineering tools to the management of patients with COVID-19 From the Back Cover Biomedical Engineering Tools for Management of Patients with COVID-19 presents Biomedical Engineering tools under research and in development that can be used for management of COVID-19 patients, as well as the BME tools in the global environment for curtailing and preventing the spread of the virus. Biomedical Engineering tools can provide engineers, computer scientists, clinicians and other policy makers with solutions for managing patient treatment, applying data analysis techniques, and applying tools to help the general population curtail spread of the virus. These tools include Internet of Things applications in COVID-19 hospitals, analytics, Data Science and statistical modeling applied to COVID-19 tracking, Smart City instruments and applications, smart Personal Protective Equipment, including medical masks, gowns, gloves, eye protection, face shields, boots and/or work shoes, as well as new types of ventilation devices and intensive care devices. Other BME tools covered in the book include new disinfectants and sterilization equipment, and testing devices for rapid and accurate COVID-19 diagnosis. In addition, readers will learn about advancements in smart tools for telemedicine and e-Health, as well as challenges and issues in current modeling and prediction techniques.
