BIO-MED APPLICATIONS AND MEDICAL DEVICES
Bio-med research assists diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. Along with the improved treatment of existing health conditions, Bio-med applications are used for adding-up prognostic and prophylactic measures to discover new therapies using innovative medical devices. Precise surface functionalization is a foundation for the ground-breaking biomedical discovery using a diverse range of bio nanoparticles, aptamers, antibodies, tumoral biomarkers, PEGs, dendrimers, carbohydrates, fluorescent dyes, ssDNA, drugs, siRNA, peptides on biosensors, culminating in advanced biomedical devices. Currently, non-invasive Point-of-Care biomedical devices are in trend for advancement in biomedical sensing. The Internet of Things (IoT) provides an additional supportive platform to add home-based, remote diagnosis, long-distance, easily accessible, rapid yet simplified healthcare features to biosensing medical devices. IoT enhances connectivity between a medical practitioner and their patient.

ELECTRONICS AND PHOTONICS CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR SENSOR APPLICATIONS
Sensors are an integral part of the automotive, health, security monitoring, and space industry. They are used for various purposes such as communications, autonomous driver assistance systems, security checks, vital signs monitoring, surveillance, weather monitoring and execution etc. In the recent past, sensors have accomplished goals beyond the targeted objectives as a result of continuously evolved technologies used for realizing the sensor's hardware. The state of art miniaturized sensors are designed and developed using advanced electronics and photonics integrated circuit design technologies.
This application-oriented special session invites submissions in the area of electronic (RF, Analog, and Digital)/photonic IC design for sensor systems. However, manuscripts addressing the dual-mode applications are also welcome for submission.
The broad scope of the session includes:
• Sensor interface circuit
• Radar sensors
• IR sensor and interface circuit
• Sensor communication system
• THz sensors
