Electronically Controlled Drug Delivery provides an overview of advances in drug delivery using electronics to regulate the delivery profile and optimize therapy. Discussing applications of electronically controlled drug delivery to commercial and novel technologies, this book covers a variety of technologies, including infusion pumps, sonophoresis, iontophoresis, and electroporation. It provides the therapeutic rationale for use of various electronically controlled delivery systems, includes a review of miniaturized electronics and microelectronics for drug delivery systems, and addresses the home use of electronically controlled drug delivery products.
