Bhatia1st ed. 2013.New York Springer20131 online resource (93 p.)SpringerBriefs in public health,2192-3698Description based upon print version of record.1-4614-5385-2 Includes bibliographical references.Introduction to global health, biomaterials, and therapeutics -- Natural resources with potential for health applications -- Biomaterial and therapeutic appliations -- Implications, challenges, and recommendations.This book advances biomedical innovations to address the plethora of health problems afflicting the developing world. A panoply of cultural, economic, infrastructural, and other factors prevent many interventions currently popular in the developed world from being similarly effective in the developing world. This book discusses less-traditional approaches, such as naturally based biomaterials and therapeutics, an area that has traditionally been overlooked but has also demonstrated impressive potential for health applications in recent years. This book explores precisely the kinds of applications which can enable countries like India to access more effective, inexpensive treatments while also taking more ownership of their healthcare technologies and innovations.SpringerBriefs in Public Health,2192-3698Biomedical materialsIndiaTherapeuticsIndiaBiomedical engineeringIndiaBiomedical materialsTherapeuticsBiomedical engineering610/.28Eswarappa Veda926807Bhatia Sujata K739910MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438128603321Naturally based biomaterials and therapeutics4191287UNINA
