SCOPE
Electromagnetic waves play a fundamental role in healthcare. For example, wireless communication and wireless power transfer are technologies that support the operation of biodevices such as wearables and implants. EM waves are also used for sensing and actuation in the human body, with applications such as optogenetics, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, RF ablation, photoacoustics and photodynamic therapy.
Researchers are invited to submit original research and review articles that are related to the use of EM waves in biodevices.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless Power Transfer
- Wireless Communication
- Optogenetics
- Photoacoustics
- Electromagnetic Waves
- Healthcare
- Implants
- Wearables
