As we witness the relentless growth of computing power, storage capacity and communication bandwidth, we also see a major trend in bio-medical sciences to become more quantitative and amenable to benefit from the support of electronic systems. Moreover, societal and economic needs push us to develop and adopt health-management approaches that are more effective, less expensive and flexible enough to be personalized to individual and community needs. Within this frame, precision medicine promises to better society by applying engineering technology to personalized health, with devices that are in/on the body and ubiquitously connected. Examples from the Swiss-wide Nano-Tera.ch program will show various techniques related remote patient monitoring, emergency care as well as routine care. These examples show the advantages that stem from organized and optimized means to quantify clinical data, handle large data sets as well as controlling and personalizing therapy and drug administration.

Moreover, societal and economic needs push us to develop and adopt health-management approaches that are more effective, less expensive and flexible enough to be personalized to individual and community needs. Within this frame, precision medicine promises to better society by applying engineering technology to personalized health, with devices that are in/on the body and ubiquitously connected. Examples from the Swiss-wide Nano-Tera.ch program will show various techniques related remote patient monitoring, emergency care as well as routine care. These examples show the advantages that stem from organized and optimized means to quantify clinical data, handle large data sets as well as controlling and personalizing therapy and drug administration. Electronic design automation is a key technology to realize systems for precision medicine. Examples of specific EDA tools and methods encompass physical design of integrated sensors and their coupling to electronics, simulation of complex systems with bio-chemical stimuli, synthesis of decision making circuitry based on plurality of inexact inputs, policies design for therapies exploiting on-line data acquisition, and verification of life-critical applications under broadly-varying and unpredictable input conditions. Overall, precision medicine represents an important and large market opportunity. EDA is a necessary underlying technology to realize the promises of better and less expensive care for everyone. |
