Slide 3-

INTRODUCTION The word “bionic” was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958, possibly originating from the Ancient Greek term ‘bion’, meaning 'unit of life' and the suffix ‘-ic’, meaning 'like' or 'in the manner of‘. The roots of bionics could further be traced to even earlier scientific works such as Leonardo da Vinci’s designs for gliding and flapping machines based on his anatomical study of birds. [1]
Slide 4-

INTRODUCTION Bionics is one field of biomedical engineering which aims at analysing biological systems and transferring the underlying principles procedures, developments and phenomena in nature into technical implementations. Bio-MEMS, also an applicable field in bionics is centered on mechanical parts and microfabrication technologies made suitable for biological applications..
Slide 5-

DEFINITIONS Bionics is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. [2] Examples of bionics in engineering include robotics, medical adhesives, hulls of boat, imitating the thick skin of dolphins; sonar, radar, medical ultrasound imaging imitating animal echolocation just to mention a few. Bio-MEMS is the science and technology of operating at the microscale for biological and biomedical applications, which may or may not include any electronic or mechanical functions.[3]
Slide 6-

MAIN CONCEPTS AND PRINCIPLES SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS BIOMIMICRY This is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems.[4] For example the modelling of medical adhesives from the limbs of a gecko.
Slide 7-

EVOLUTIONARY TRENDS This can be defined as a persistent, directional change in a character state, or set of character states, resulting in a significant change through time.[5] Over time, man, animals and processes in nature have either undergone progressive or repressive changes in their genetic makeup, bodily and physiological function.
Slide 8-

MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION (PSO) It is currently one of the most powerful techniques used in optimization. It was inspired by the collective behavior of social animals, such as information circulation observed in bird flocks and fish schools.
Slide 9-

Particle swarm optimization Fig. 1. Particle Swarm Optimization (n.d.).
Slide 10-

A swarm is a population of homogenous, simple agents performing rather elementary tasks and interacting locally among themselves, and their environment, with no central control, such that a collective behavior emerges as a consequence of self-organization and local interactions.
Slide 11-

APPLICATIONS PSO is therefore a population-based algorithm capable of producing low cost, fast, and robust solutions to several complex problems such as detecting at an early stage the critical conditions of a patient, affected by a specific disease using a remote health care system for patients at home.[6] PSO simply optimizes the symptoms for accurate diagnosis.
Slide 12-

ARFTIFICIAL IMMUNE SYSTEM The immune system (IS) provides protection to a living body against a number for foreign molecules called antigens such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and other parasites. The Immune System possesses an excellent ability to recognize these foreign molecules, when they are encountered for the very first time, retain its memory of them and then identify them when encountered at a later stage.
Slide 13-

The Artificial Immune System (AIS) is actually based on these capabilities of the immune system such as robustness, de-centralization, error tolerance and adaptiveness. Following the patterns and behaviours of the IS, three basic computational areas are developed such as : Immune modelling, Theoretical AIS and Applied AIS. [7]
Slide 14-

APPLICATIONS AIS are used to solve several problems of the field such as; computer security, adaptive control systems, data analysis, bioinformatics, image processing and robotics. [8] In the development of BioMEMS (Bio Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems), it would be possible to install and deploy a large number of micro and nano sized robots capable of learning new skills, and adapting to new environments with the use of AIS
Slide 15-

DESIGN CONCEPTS Bionics focuses on mimicry of natural systems and structures in the fields of design, utilising principles such as: The Aalborg bio-inspired design method The biomimicry design method

MEDICAL APPLICATIONS In medicine, bionics means the replacement or enhancement of organs or other body parts by mechanical versions. Bionic implants differ from mere prostheses by mimicking the original function very closely, or even surpassing it.
Slide 20-

IMPLANTS An implant is a man-made medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing biological structure. THE COCHLEAR IMPLANT The device for the hearing-impaired, the cochlear implant is a replacement for the damaged or dysplastic inner ear. Cochlear implants bypass the normal hearing process. They have a sound processor that resides on the outside of the skin, and worn behind the ear, which contains microphones, electronics, battery, and a coil which transmits a signal to the implant. The implant has a coil to receive signals, electronics, and an array of electrodes which is placed into the cochlea, to stimulate the cochlear nerve. [9]

PROSTHESES A prosthesis is an artificial device that replaces a missing body part, which may be lost through trauma, disease, or congenital conditions and is intended to restore the normal functions of the missing body part.[10]
Slide 23-

THE i-LIMB The i-LIMB hand is a prosthesis controlled through the use of myoelectric signals, which use the muscle signal in the patient’s residual arm to move around. Electrodes are placed at two pre-determined muscles sites, which pick up the muscle signal when the patient contracts his/her muscles. These signals are then sent to a microprocessor which causes the device to move. The i-LIMB hand has up to four different muscle triggers. The user is able to assign a grip to move the device to a certain position. [11]

Bio-MEMS in the medical field are also applied in the following areas: Diagnostic microsystems: It includes rapid point-of-care, systems on a chip, cell and molecule sorting and also DNA diagnostics. Surgical microsystems: Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), CAD assisted surgery (micro robotics). Therapeutic microsystems and prostheses: Drug and gene delivery, tissue augmentation and repair, bio-capsules, micro-invasive surgical systems.[12]

DEVICES ARTIFICIAL HEART An artificial heart is a mechanical device, about the size of an orange, that is connected to your heart or implanted in your chest to help or replace a failing heart. There are two types of artificial hearts: A VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICE (VAD) An artificial heart that provides an extra ventricle (pumping chamber in your heart) to help to pump blood around your body

Slide 28-

2. TOTAL ARTIFICIAL HEARTS (TAH): These are a mechanical substitute for your entire heart. They are put into your body after your heart has been removed. How Does An Artificial Heart Work? Blood enters an artificial heart from the left or right atrium. It is then pumped into the aorta (artery to your body) or pulmonary artery (artery to your lungs), depending on which side of your heart is being supported. An artificial heart is powered by either compressed air or electricity. A thin cable connects the pumping chamber to a portable control console that regulates the pump function. [12]
Slide 29-

MYOELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY . They allow the control of prosthetic limbs through the firing of electrical signals from the muscles. They provide a high rate of motion and multiple function for prosthesis in the upper limb. There are 3 different attachment sites that use myoelectric technology; the shoulder, the elbow, and the wrist The prosthetic limb is wired with signal receptors that receive signals from either the muscles in the shoulder or in the upper arm for movement, depending on the extent of the amputation.[13]

BIO-MEMS DEVICES MEMS INERTIAL SENSORS MEMS accelerometers are used in defibrillators and pacemakers. Some patients exhibit unusually fast or chaotic heart beats and thus are at a high risk of cardiac arrest or a heart attack. An implantable defibrillator restores a normal heart rhythm by providing electrical shocks to the heart during abnormal conditions. Also, some peoples’ hearts beat too slowly, and this may be related to the natural aging process or a genetic condition A normal pacemaker maintains a proper heart beat by transmitting electrical impulses to the heart at a fixed rate. Modern pacemakers employ MEMS accelerometers and are hence capable of adjusting heart rate in accordance with the patient’s physical activity.

MICROFLUIDICS FOR DRUG DELIVERY Microfluidics deal with the flow of liquids inside micrometer-sized channels one of microfluidics’ main application, the Lab-On-a-Chip (LOC) can provide a platform for both drug synthesis and delivery. A microfluidic chip is a set of micro-channels etched or molded into a material (glass, silicon or polymer such as PDMS, for PolyDimethylSiloxane). The micro-channels forming the microfluidic chip are connected together in order to mix, pump, sort, or control the biochemical environment chip, and are connected to the outside by inputs and outputs pierced through the chip, as an interface for fluid exchange between the macro- and micro-world. The use of these chips reduces both pain and risk of side effects and brings further improvements in cost, user-friendliness, safety and portability.[14]
Slide 34-

Other devices include: Microneedle arrays for transdermal drug delivery Microsurgical tools for manipulation and surgical intervention of very small bodily tissues.
Slide 35-

ADDRESSING LOCAL ISSUES IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING AND HEALTHCARE WITH BIONICS AND BMEMS REHABILITATION In Ghana, patients can be fitted with bionic arms in the event of amputation as a result of an ailment or accident. In our local setting, a device like the cochlear implant will be very helpful in correcting hearing defects in many, especially the aged.
Slide 36-

DRUG DELIVERY Pain and fear are greatly associated with syringe needles [15], although many drugs cannot be taken orally but transdermally due to them either being destroyed in the digestive tract or immediately metabolized by the liver before they can act. Thus making them less attractive drug delivery option. Needles precisely engineered to penetrate the stratum corneum, the skin's primary transport barrier, without reaching the underlying nerve cells can painlessly deliver drugs into the dermis, from which the drug can access the circulatory system relatively quickly. With the microneedles made of tiny quantities of materials, their cost will be greatly reduced, creating affordability of drugs for the general public.

DIAGNOSTIC MICROSYSTEMS The introduction of diagnostic microsystems like the Lab-On-Chip at healthcare centers in Ghana, will be very beneficial in epidemiological studies conducted in the country due to the ease with which they can be operated and with their analyses capabilities comparable to those conducted in full analytical laboratories The technology requires only finger-prick blood samples, doing away with standard test tubes that store blood samples, whilst also reducing costs by requiring lower reagent volumes. [16] LOC technology research and development can be adapted in Ghana for the detection of microorganisms that cause locally common diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis and diarrhea. Such handheld diagnostic devices using LOC can rapidly analyze blood samples of patients and precisely detect various strains of HIV, thus allowing specified treatment plans which are more plans which are more effective to be used , also helping to minimize drug wastage and drug resistance.

CONCLUSION "If we surrendered to earth's intelligence, we could rise up rooted, like trees.“ —Rainer Maria Rilke, Rilke's Book of Hours: Love Poems to God[17] In conlusion, it is necessary for us, as prospective engineers in the new age of medicine and beyond, to be conscious of the fact that bionics, acquainted with many diverse fields such as bio-microelectromechanical systems- is indeed fertile ground on which mankind can work hand in hand with nature- from a new age of prostheses to even the evolving world of bio-inspired algorithms- to sustain and positively advance our synergic existence as beings of Earth.
