Modelling Optimization and Control of Biomedical Systems is a highly specialized academic book detailing the newest developments in multi-parametric model predictive control (mp-MPC) and optimization, specifically applied to biomedical drug delivery systems. Born from the MOBILE project, it presents intelligent computer model-based systems designed to optimize drug dosages for conditions such as diabetes, anaesthesia, and blood cancer. The book emphasizes ensuring patient safety, adapting to individual patient characteristics, and incorporating physician criteria for reliable and fast optimal drug calculation without requiring online computation. It provides a comprehensive theoretical background, computational tools, and practical applications for students, researchers, and scientists working in biomedical systems.
“The ultimate goal is to ensure reliable and fast calculation of the optimal drug dosage without the need for an online computer.”
Key themes
- Patient Safety and Efficacy
- Underlying all the technical developments is the paramount goal of maintaining patient safety while ensuring treatment efficacy. The book discusses how control strategies are designed with inherent safety margins and constraints to prevent adverse events and ensure reliable therapeutic outcomes, balancing potent therapies with patient well-being.
- Optimization of Drug Delivery
- This theme is central to the book, exploring the mathematical and computational methods used to determine the most effective and safe drug dosages. It delves into how multi-parametric programming and model predictive control are employed to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing side effects.
- Personalized Medicine and Patient-Specific Control
- The book strongly emphasizes tailoring drug delivery systems to individual patient characteristics. It explores how models can adapt to changing patient conditions and incorporate specific physiological constraints, moving away from 'one-size-fits-all' treatments towards highly individualized therapeutic strategies.
