DESCRIPTION:“Sustainable Microwave Technologies for Healthcare”\n\nwith
  Dr. S. Raghavan\, National Institute of Technology (N.I.T.)\, Trichy\, In
 dia (retired)\n\nDate/Time: Tuesday\, September 30\, 9am Pacific Time (9\;
 30 pm IST)\n\nAbstract:\n\nMicrowave technology has applications in the ph
 armaceutical industry for drug extraction\, sterilization\, and creating d
 osage forms. Microwave-assisted extraction can be used to obtain medicinal
  components from plants and other materials for healthcare purposes.\n\nBi
 oMEMS [Biological Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems] and biomedical enginee
 ring have enabled the development of microwave-based devices for healthcar
 e\, such as wireless implants for monitoring intracranial pressure in pati
 ents with traumatic brain injury or hydrocephalus.\n\nMetamaterials are us
 ed in designing antennas for healthcare applications. These metamaterial-b
 ased wearable antennas\, like textile patch antennas\, are crucial for wir
 eless body-centric networks used in healthcare monitoring systems.\n\nSpea
 ker(s): S Raghavan\, \n\nAgenda: \n09:00 Introduction of speaker\n\n10:00
