Biomedical Embedded Systems: From Design to Security

Author(s): Nathan Allen, Hammond Pearce, and Partha Roop
(Collection III)

Biomedical systems use embedded controllers to control physical processes, and consequently form a class of devices known as cyber-physical systems (CPS). Such devices are safety-critical: any error in their operation can have catastrophic consequences. In this textbook, we present a thorough overview of the state of the art in the design space for biomedical CPS, including example exercises with associated and interactive laboratory software. We cover the benefits and methods for synchronous programming, heart modeling, and cybersecurity consideration, and organize the textbook such that it could be used as the basis for a university-level courses in Biomedical Engineering as well as embedded / cyber-physical systems. We cover topics from the point of view of undergraduate students all the way to practicing engineers and graduate students. By covering the design, safety and security of such systems, we envisage a comprehensive text, which will be useful for both biomedical engineers and computer engineers.
