Abstract

Overview

The increasing use of electromagnetic systems in our daily environments exposes these areas to fields emitted by various devices. This review article discusses the implications of such exposures, particularly focusing on their effects on health and medical devices.

Findings

  • The article extensively reviews the biological impacts and disturbances to medical instruments that arise from exposure to electromagnetic fields.
  • It explores different types of exposures across a range of power and frequency spectrums associated with energy devices.
  • Significant focus is given to the impacts of wireless telecommunications tools and inductive charging systems.
  • Further analysis includes electromagnetic disturbances in devices connected to or used within the human body, such as sensing and stimulation instruments, as well as those used in medical interventions.

Conclusion

Various methods for evaluating and controlling the effects of electromagnetic fields are discussed. The study emphasizes electromagnetic compatibility analysis through both experimental and numerical modeling approaches to ensure safety compliance.
