Description
Summary:The modern medical field faces two critical challenges: the dramatic increase in data complexity and the explosive growth in data size. Especially in current research, medical diagnostic, and data processing devices relying on traditional computer architecture are increasingly showing limitations when faced with dynamic temporal and spatial processing requirements, as well as high-dimensional data processing tasks. Neuromorphic devices provide a new way for biomedical data processing due to their low energy consumption and high dynamic information processing capabilities. This paper aims to reveal the advantages of neuromorphic devices in biomedical applications. First, this review emphasizes the urgent need of biomedical engineering for diversify clinical diagnostic techniques. Secondly, the feasibility of the application in biomedical engineering is demonstrated by reviewing the historical development of neuromorphic devices from basic modeling to multimodal signal processing. In addition, this paper demonstrates the great potential of neuromorphic chips for application in the fields of biosensing technology, medical image processing and generation, rehabilitation medical engineering, and brain-computer interfaces. Finally, this review provides the pathways for constructing standardized experimental protocols using biocompatible technologies, personalized treatment strategies, and systematic clinical validation. In summary, neuromorphic devices will drive technological innovation in the biomedical field and make significant contributions to life health.
