En el marco de las celebraciones por los 25 años del GuE, el día Lunes 29 de Mayo de 2017, el Dr. Ing. Manuel Monge (Doctor y Magíster en Ingeniería Eléctrica por el CALTECH e Ingeniero Electrónico por la PUCP) brindará una conferencia titulada High-Performance Microelectronics for Implantable Medical Electronics.

Abstract:

Implantable medical devices (IMDs) are emerging as one of the keystones of tomorrow’s medical technology. Although they have enabled a revolution in medicine, from research to diagnosis to treatment, most of today’s devices have critical limitations. They are bulky, have low resolution, and, in some cases, are limited to basic functionality. Miniaturization of IMDs will have an enormous impact not only on the technology itself and the medical procedures they enable, but also on the lives of patients, who will be more comfortable, have greater confidence in their medical treatments, and enjoy an overall improvement in their quality of life. The path towards miniaturized bioelectronic devices requires a reevaluation of existing paradigms to reach a seamless integration of electronics and biology. Miniaturization of medical electronics then involves an exploration of advanced integrated circuit processes and novel circuit and system level architectures. In this talk, we provide an overview of implantable medical devices and present novel circuit and system level techniques for the miniaturization of medical electronics. Examples of circuit and system level techniques for Localization, Actuation and Sensing applications will be discussed.

La comunidad PUCP está cordialmente invitada.
