Biomedical Engineering for Global Health: Cancer, Inequity, and Technology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781108833448)

Explore the fundamentals of biomedical engineering technologies with this thought-provoking introduction, framed around modern-day global cancer inequities. Connecting engineering principles to real-world global health scenarios, this textbook introduces major technological advances in cancer care through the lens of global health inequity, discusses how promising new technologies can address this inequity, and demonstrates how novel medical technologies are adopted for real-world clinical use. It includes modular chapters designed to enable a flexible pathway through material, for students from a wide range of backgrounds; boxed discussion of contemporary issues in engineering for global health, encouraging students to explore ethical questions related to science and society; supplementary lab modules for hands-on experience in translating engineering principles into healthcare solutions; and over 200 end-of-chapter problems, targeting multiple learning outcomes to solidify student understanding. This introduction is designed to equip students with all the critical, technical, and ethical knowledge they need to excel.
