This paper reviews a number of biomedical engineering approaches to help aid in the detection and treatment of tropical diseases such as dengue, malaria, cholera, schistosomiasis, lymphatic filariasis, ebola, leprosy, leishmaniasis, and American trypanosomiasis (Chagas). Many different forms of non-invasive approaches such as ultrasound, echocardiography and electrocardiography, bioelectrical impedance, optical detection, simplified and rapid serological tests such as lab-on-chip and micro-/nano-fluidic platforms and medical support systems such as artificial intelligence clinical support systems are discussed. The paper also reviewed the novel clinical diagnosis and management systems using artificial intelligence and bioelectrical impedance techniques for dengue clinical applications.
本文综述了多种生物医学工程方法，以帮助检测和治疗登革热、疟疾、霍乱、血吸虫病、淋巴丝虫病、埃博拉、麻风病、利什曼病和美洲锥虫病（恰加斯病）等热带疾病。文中讨论了许多不同形式的非侵入性方法，如超声、超声心动图和心电图、生物电阻抗、光学检测、简化快速血清学检测（如芯片实验室和微纳流体平台）以及医疗支持系统（如人工智能临床支持系统）。本文还综述了用于登革热临床应用的采用人工智能和生物电阻抗技术的新型临床诊断和管理系统。
