Introduction

 At the present time the medical field is searching a new applications for the
best practice of the medicine.
 The use of the mechatronics technology is the best option for this new apps.
The mechatronic is creating innovations in the medical instruments and
optimizing the available conventional instruments and also creating new
innovative, intelligent and accurate instruments.

What is Mechatronic?
 The term “Mechatronic” is a term conceived by a Japanese company, and
describe the integration of mechanical and electronic engineering.
 But the mechatronic signify something more. This is the combination of
mechanical, electrical, electronic, and computer systems, and represents the
next generation of machines, robots, and smart mechanisms necessary for the
best future.

Sensing and actuating technology
 In the actuality the mechatronic has provided the sensors. This convert the
electrical signal to physical, chemical, and biological signals.
 In the short term, sensors used in medical applications for emit a signal that
can be read at the point of determination or transferred by wire or wireless
transmission to remote locations.
 The next step is combining sensing and processing with an actuator, such as
microelectromechanical systems.

5
Instruments
 The mechatronic is creating new instruments for the best realization of the
medicine practice. Some instruments for the medicine are:
 Endoscopic surgery: Steer a beam in an endoscopic laser scalpel, focus a lens
in an in vivo camera, manipulate a scraper, collect a sample or dispense a
liquid. The mechatronics systems improve accuracy and eliminate the need
for a cable control system.

6
 Electrophysiology: Motorized Microdrive arrays enable precision electrode
positioning.

 Medical imaging. Precise modules for lens control and laser tuning enable
systems for a more precise diagnostics, home monitoring and telemedicine,
and real-time automated data collection.

7
 Implantable devices. The implantable devices used for regulate the drug
delivery use, orthopedics (bone growth and spine straightening), audiology,
neurology problems, sleep apnea treatment, and more.

 Robotic surgical devices. Everything from robotic grippers and retractors to

miniature mobile robots for minimally invasive surgery.

8
Processing and controlling mechanisms

 Embedded system has faced a vast growth in medical field nowadays. The
efficacy of embedded system in medical Mechatronics provides a various
benefit like small devices capable of capturing patient data and making
control decisions in treatment for the patients with the reduction of size, low
power consumption, increase in processing power, may help in providing
patients with better treatments.

 Artificial Neural Networks

 The mechatronics engineers are searching create a model of the neural

structure of the brain. And of this form the engineers created the Artificial
Neural Networks.
 This innovation combine the computing methods and the neuronal structure
for improve the computing industry at biologically inspired.

10
 The basic unit of neural networks are the artificial neurons. This set of
neurons that process information, is organized into interconnected layers
along chosen patterns.

11
Intelligent Prosthesis

 Through time this external devices have evolved, entering into the fields of
robotics, particularly in bionic devices. These have provided supplementary
limbs to the amputee. This artificial limbs are being perfected every day.

Conclusion
Finally, there is various medical instruments created with the help of mechatronics
are varied, but in the field of surgery, the Da Vinci machine stands out. In this way
mechatronics is applied in medicine, using technology to improve the quality of life of
the human being and to avoid accidents in a surgery with the innovations of the 21st
century.
