From Proof-of-concept To Product: Design And Simulation Of Mems For Diagnosis
Microelectromechanical
systems (MEMS) combine mechanical and electronic components on a microscopic
scale which are fabricated by the help of semiconductor fabrication techniques.
These devices include sensors (gyroscopes, inertial measurement units,
accelerometers, etc. ) and actuators (micro-pumps, valves, micro-motors, etc.)
and have applications in automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, and
aerospace. On the other hand, MEMS technology is significantly essential in
biological detection and analysis, facilitating rapid identification of
bacterial and viral infections through sensitive sensors that analyze physical,
biological, chemical phenomena by transducing electrical or mechanical changes.
As being one type of MEMS technology, lab-on-a-chip devices enable real-time
testing, while microfluidic MEMS assist in precise biomolecular detection for
medical diagnostics and environmental monitoring. Besides that, MEMS are being
researched for their use in studying neurodegenerative diseases by measuring
neural activity. In cardiovascular health, MEMS sensors in wearable devices
monitor vital parameters such as heart and breath rate, providing early
detection and timely intervention of cardiovascular diseases. Overall, MEMS
technology yields compact, sensitive, and efficient devices that enhance
diagnostics and treatments across various medical fields.
