A brief review on existing cyber-physical systems for healthcare applications and their prospective national developments

One of the existing general definitions of a cyber-physical system (CPS) can be stated as: a firmly integrated engineered system consisting of electronics, computing, communication, and control sub-systems. It is a relatively new emerging multidisciplinary field, and can be thought as an intersection of physical, biological, engineering and information sciences. CPS has a number of potential applications that include: advanced automotive systems, avionics, energy conservation, environmental control, healthcare, instrumentation, process control, traffic control and safety, as well as transportation. This paper addresses a brief review on existing cyber-physical systems for healthcare related applications; some initial prospective developments of such systems in Indonesia will also be discussed.
