ELECTROMAGNETICS: The bedrock of Communication and Modern Medicine
INTRODUCTION.
o Electromagnetics = Electricity + Magnetics
o A great deal of modern technology depends upon the advent
electromagnetics waves.
o Radio, television, mobile phones and the Internet rely on the
transmission of radio frequency EMR through air, space or fiber optic
cables.
o The lasers used to record and play DVDs and audio CDs use light
waves to write to and read from the discs.
o Its breakthrough in medicine and telecommunication application
happens to be the greatest achievement of all

ELECTROMAGNETICS IN MODERN MEDICINE
 Electromagnetics intervention in medicine has achieved a breakthrough in aspects where
conventional medicine failed such as:
 Detection of internal medical problems in the body such as broken bones and fractures
 Early detection of cancer
 Location and treatment of Cancer and Tumours
 Treatment of Hyperthermia
 Monitoring of Patients in coma or intensive care units
 Diagnosis and treatment of Epilepsy and Brain failure
 Electrocardiography and Electroencephalography

ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAPHY
 This is the most current electromagnetic advancement in modern medicine
 It is the measure of electrical activity in the body through the scalp which is used to detect issues such as:
• Brain failure
• Epileptic seizures
• Psychiatric syndromes
• Prognosis in patients who are in a state of coma

MEDICAL WIRELESS IMPLANTS
 it is a minute transmitting device to be planted inside the body of humans
 It helps in getting details of patient who are in coma or maybe, unable to talk
 it is used solely for transmitting current up-to date information of its carrier such as
 Blood group
 Age and
 other required medical information

ELECTROMAGNETICS IN COMMUNICATION
 The discovery of electromagnetic waves has made Communication easier and less tedious
 Wireless communication has taken over in almost all available aspects
 Electromagnetic waves made it easier to send information over long distance through space
 Electromagnetic waves are used in the following aspects of telecommunication:
 Radio waves
 Amplitude and Frequency Modulation
 Radar Technology
 Microwave Communication
 Telemetry

ELECTROMAGNETICS: The bedrock of Communication and Modern Medicine
• Some antennas used for sending and receiving electromagnetic signals
• Telemetry; which is an automatic process of making measurements from a remote location and
transmitting those measurements to receiving equipment also utilizes these antennas.

CONCLUSION
• Electromagnetics has successfully made life easier in the area of modern medicine and communications due to its contribution
in aspects like:
• Satellite Communication
• TV and mobile Communication
• Wireless Communication
• Microwave Communication
• Bio-medical systems
• Radiation therapy
• Remote sensing radars
• Radio astronomy radars
• And many more
• Electromagnetics has therefore helped in increasing in life expectancy, easier communication, reduced mortality rate etc.
