Design and development of bio-medical devices using rapid prototyping techniques

Drug releases in therapeutic treatment must be carefully controlled as they have a direct impact on the effectiveness of the treatment. However, existing drug delivery systems are either too complicated to be self-administered or face low compliance by patients. There has been lots of research done...
