Bio-Medical CMOS ICs [Hardcover]

This book is based on a graduate course entitled, Ubiquitous Healthcare Circuits and Systems, that was given by one of the editors at his university.  It includes an introduction and overview to the field of biomedical ICs and provides information on the current trends in research.  The material focuses on the design of biomedical ICs rather than focusing on how to use prepared ICs.
