Produktbeschreibung

Humanitarian engineering focuses on programs that are affordable, sustainable, and based on local resources, and is one way to address the emerging problem of cancer in the global setting. This text presents case studies, drawn from a variety of disciplines including radiation oncology, a medical speciality that involves the controlled use of radiation to treat cancer. Together these illustrate the ways in which humanitarian engineering can address the acute global need for cancer care.

Key Features:

• Outlines the principles of humanitarian engineering.
• Presents challenges and opportunities of oncology care in the global context.
• Introduces radiation oncologists, medical physicists and radiation therapists and other related health professionals to humanitarian engineering for global health.
• Highlights specific examples of successful radiation oncology treatments within a global health, humanitarian framework based upon funding from NIH and industry.
• Provides a comprehensive coverage of information and communication technologies (e.g. telemedicine) and artificial intelligence (AI) for global health.
• Extensive references will be included at the end of each chapter to enhance further study.
