Energy Efficiency of Medical Devices and Healthcare Facilities

Energy Efficiency of Medical Devices and Healthcare Facilities, authored by Amr Mohamed, offers comprehensive insights into cutting-edge research and commercial solutions in the field. The book delves into energy-related challenges, such as energy-efficient design, including renewable energy, of different medical devices from a hardware and mechanical perspective, as well as energy management solutions and techniques in healthcare networks and facilities.

The authors discuss energy-related trade-offs to maximize the medical devices’ availability, especially battery-operated ones, while providing immediate response and low latency communication in emergency situations, sustainability, and robustness for chronic disease treatment. They also examine technologies and future trends of next-generation healthcare from an energy efficiency and management point of view, such as personalized or smart health and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), where patients can participate in their own treatment through innovative medical devices and software applications and tools.

This book’s applied approach makes it a valuable resource for engineering researchers and practitioners of all levels involved in medical devices development, healthcare systems, and energy management of healthcare facilities. Graduate students in mechanical and electric engineering, and computer science students and professionals will also benefit from the in-depth knowledge and understanding of the benefits of energy efficiency in the design of medical devices and healthcare networks and facilities, as well as best practices and state-of-the-art techniques and commercial solutions in energy management of healthcare networks and systems.

Key energy trade-offs are explored to provide scalable, robust, and effective healthcare systems and networks. This book is a must-have for anyone looking to improve the efficiency and sustainability of healthcare facilities and medical devices.
