ABSTRACT:
To enhance medical care and medication administration, a rapidly expanding area of bioengineering and biotechnology called microelectromechanical systems, or MEMS, combines mechanical and microelectronic components. These technologies enable more precise and targeted medicine administration, reducing side effects and increasing therapeutic efficacy. MEMS devices are incredibly adaptable and small, and they may find application in a variety of fields, such as communications, electronics, and medicine. Through wearables or implants, MEMS can be utilized in medical applications to treat diseases including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and neurological issues by delivering medication directly to the site of need. These devices, which also offer benefits like precision dosing, remote monitoring, improved patient compliance, and tailored therapy, can be used to give small molecules and biologics. Implantable medical devices have a bright future ahead of them thanks to the significantly expanded possibilities of nanotechnology and wireless connectivity together. Notwithstanding, there are still obstacles to overcome, such as the necessity for additional miniaturization, regulatory obstacles, intricate production procedures, integration and packaging constraints, and environmental sensitivity. To fully realize the potential of MEMS in medical and other applications, concerns including long- term dependability, cost reduction, standardization, and scaling up production must also be addressed. Despite these obstacles, MEMS devices have the potential to completely transform healthcare and other industries by providing accurate, customized, and effective solutions.
