Biomedical Cybernetics
Biomedical Cybernetics (pronunciation: /ˌbaɪoʊˈmɛdɪkəl saɪbərˈnɛtɪks/) is a branch of Cybernetics that applies the principles of cybernetics to the field of medicine. It involves the study and application of feedback control systems and communication pathways in biological organisms, particularly in relation to health and disease states.
Etymology
The term "Biomedical Cybernetics" is derived from the Greek words "bios" (life), "medicus" (pertaining to physicians), and "kybernetes" (steersman, guide, governor). It was first used in the mid-20th century, coinciding with the development of computer science and information theory.
