« Médecine 4.0 » Exemples d'application de l'électronique, de la technologie de l'information et des microsystèmes dans la médecine moderne

The electronic advances of the last hundred years have made enormous contributions to medical research and the development of new therapeutic methods. In recent years in particular, it has been demonstrated that intelligent sensors, with appropriate radio interfaces, will soon allow diagnostic and therapeutic processes in medicine to be linked to one another - this will enable the development of completely new forms of therapy [1]. This new "Medicine 4.0" was the subject of a first article in the series, which presented the progress achieved through the merging of microsensor technology, microelectronics, information and communication technologies, with a particular focus on the case of personalized chemotherapy. The purpose of this new article is to present more practical applications of these new therapeutic methods.
