BioMEMS in medicine: diagnostic and therapeutic systems

The applications of bio-microelectromechanical systems (bioMEMS) in medicine can be classified as diagnostic or therapeutic systems. In the laboratory, microfluidic systems for cell analysis and characterization contribute to the development of diagnostic systems. Implantable biomedical microdevices can benefit many patients with neurological conditions or spinal cord injury, and flexible polymer-based microelectrode arrays are key technology in future neuroprosthetic devices. Advances in both lab-on-a-chip diagnostic systems and implantable biomedical microdevices have the potential to advance new therapies and solutions to improve our well-being.
