The advent of high-performance computing has benefited various disciplines including healthcare. Enhanced computational capabilities have helped biomedical engineers reach practical solutions to sophisticated and complex biophysical and physiological problems.
This book addresses two leading model-based approaches, including, mechanistic modelling and physiological modelling, and their applications in biomedical engineering. Various topics in healthcare and medicine, their comprehension through ordinary and partial differential equations and their solution utilizing appropriate numerical strategy are considered. The text is divided into two parts. Part I of the book explores the concept and application of mechanistic modelling, while Part II deals with content relevant to physiological modelling. This practical guide is a key text for undergraduate students studying biomedical engineering and researchers in the field of biomedical engineering and healthcare.
Key Features:
-
Covers two leading computational modelling approaches in biomedical engineering and their applications in healthcare.
-
Each chapter is standalone, making the book a practical guide for readers who want to explore computational modelling in biomedical engineering.
-
Case studies are used throughout to help readers connect theory with practice.
-
Discusses a wide range of topics in biomedical engineering including thermal therapy, drug delivery, blood flow, respiratory mechanics, glucose-insulin, and cardiovascular systems
