This document discusses bionics, which is defined as the study of mechanical systems that function like living organisms. It provides examples of bionics technologies that have been developed by taking inspiration from nature, including myoelectric prosthetics, cochlear implants, targeted muscle reinnervation, deep brain stimulation, bionic legs, and artificial pancreases. These technologies aim to restore or enhance human abilities by applying the principles of biological systems to engineering. The document emphasizes how bionics has improved people's lives by allowing amputees to regain mobility and control of prosthetics, deaf individuals to regain hearing, and those with medical conditions to be treated through stimulation and monitoring devices.
Bionics is an aid to technology that is bridging the gap between human limitation and potential. This presentation deals with the details of bionics and different milestones implemented.
in this ppt i tried to help people understand what is bci how its work and how it can be implemented in our life and its potential to change our perspective of looking world.
A recent article on neural interfacing in the IEEE Transactions reports that "a Microelectrode array capable of recording from and stimulating peripheral nerves at prolonged intervals after surgical implantation has been demonstrated." These tiny silicon-based arrays were implanted into the peroneal nerves of rats and remained operative for up to 13months. This human computer interface may now lead to a revolutionary organism called as “cybor”, which was thought of as a science -fiction earlier.

A short paper on Bionics and its implications.
For the people without disability, technology makes things easier and for the people with disability, technology makes things possible.
Bionics is mimicking natural phenomenons for development of engineering system and beneficial technology of social welfare. Bionic implants are electrical equivalents to replacement of lost body function along with mind, body and machine coordination.
Reversing Paralysis
Scientists are making remarkable progress at using brain implants to restore the freedom of movement that spinal cord injuries take away.
Scientists are wirelessly connecting brain-reading technology directly to electrical stimulators on the body, creating a “neural bypass” so that people’s thoughts can again move their limbs for paralyzed people. The science is still in beginning stages, but their is a great desire for these solutions.

The Micro-Heat exchangers are heat exchangers in which fluids flows in very confined area such as tubes or small cavities whose dimensions are below 1mm in size. They also go by others name as Micro scale heat exchangers, micro channel heat exchangers, micro structure heat exchanger. They comprises of numerous parallel but relatively short micro channels for the passage of fluid flow. Their ability to handle high heat flux densities to control precise chemical reactions or cool the high-end computer processors is becoming more and more relevant to their efficient and safe operation.The Micro-Heat exchangers are heat exchangers in which fluids flows in very confined area such as tubes or small cavities whose dimensions are below 1mm in size.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Human Arm
22+ Movements
From the shoulder to a
Fingers last joint, an arm has
22 points of movement.
Nerves carry brains
instructions
From the spinal cord to
muscle
Traditional Prosthesis
3 Movements
Easily available device for
Most amputees, Hook
Hand prosthesis relies on
cable movements, actuated
By lever placed on shoulders
12. Short comes of Standard Prosthesis
• less degrees of freedom
• available degrees of freedom being very slow
and time taking
• Still uses the conventional bicycle wire to
control the movement
12
13. Myoelectric Prostheses It's Electrifying
Uses electromyography signals/ electric
potentials from voluntarily contracted muscles
within a person’s residual limb to control
movements of the prosthesis.
Electromyography (EMG): process of
detecting electric potentials and translating
them into motions.

14. How it makes amputee’s work easy?
14
Slightest contraction
EMG signal
Surface micro electrode
Amplifies
Micro motor
Force & torque
Of 5-20 mV
(one millionth of bulb strength)
15. Again it too has short comes
– Expensive!
– Not suitable to people involved with heavy work
loads
– Don’t last that long
– Users must be able to produce an EMG strong
enough to be recorded
15
16. Use your imagination
Story of
targeted muscle reinnervation
Motor nerves that once controlled the arm are
transferred to nearby muscles,
which are then fitted with myoelectric sensors to
detect contraction.

18. What Did You Say? The Cochlear Implant
A lead of electrodes is implanted in the ear to
replicate the function of hair cells
stimulate the cochlea
The implanted lead contains anywhere from 1 to 22
electrodes,
each being stimulated by different frequencies and
pitches.
These electrodes then stimulate the nerves and
then send it to the brain via the hearing nerve.
And the person hears
