Bioelectronics is a rapidly developing field of science that deals with the study and application of biological signals and electrical currents in living organisms and their systems for medical, scientific and technological applications. It combines knowledge and methods from sciences such as biology, chemistry, physics, engineering and programming to create new technologies for diagnosing and treating diseases, controlling prosthetics and implants, monitoring body functions and other useful applications in the medical field.
One of the main applications of bioelectronics is diagnostic equipment. Many medical devices for studying the state of the body operate using biocurrents from the electrical potential of the heart or brain. Promising areas of research in this area are the development of more accurate and efficient methods for obtaining, processing and analyzing data on biocurrents, as well as the creation of new methods for transmitting, storing and visualizing information based on biocurrents. Research is also being conducted into the use of artificial implants and prosthetics that can transmit electrical signals from a person's brain to a remote control to control vital functions such as vision or limb mobility.
Bioelectronics is widely used in medical research such as encephalography, electroencephalogram, electrotremography and many others. These devices are used to measure the biocurrents of the brain, nerves and muscles, which makes it possible to assess the state of the nervous system and brain, study the effects of drugs and toxins on them, carry out functional diagnostics of electric current in neurological and mental diseases, as well as to study the mechanism of action of hypnosis. Moreover, bioelectronic sensors can be installed on a patient to collect data and use them in the treatment of severe disabling conditions. Another way to use bioelectronics in medicine is the creation of biosensors and sensors for detecting poisons and toxic substances, antibiotics in soil or water, monitoring the environmental situation in production, agriculture and checking the quality of products, etc.
However, in addition to medical applications, bioelectronics are also used in other scientific, technological and industrial fields. For example, thanks to bioelectronics, wireless electrobionic networks are created, signals are transmitted in mechatronism and robotics, therapy and sports medicine (sports bionics) are improved, ecosystems are developed, neural devices are created, medicine is developed for the future generation (bionic child/bionic adult), and the creation of nanotectors, membranes for artificial organs and cells (regenerative medicine), methods are being developed to change the electrical activity of neurons and even human mental activity (neuronics), etc. The capabilities of bioelectronics are determined by many factors, including: knowledge of engineering, applied science and precision technology. Wireless electronic components, communication systems, miniaturization, distributed data processing, minirobotics create modern electronic devices and programs that already today use bioelectronics-based mechanisms to improve the quality and usability of our daily lives, such as biometric smart cards, wireless headphones and Bluetooth headsets, mobile Internet, sports gadgets, smart watches and bracelets, routers and multimedia set-top boxes with a smart camera, adaptive control of lamps, fluorescent lamps and heaters, consumer electronics and household appliances of the new generation - all this is already on the way to a society where
