Bionics: This is a field of study that aims to create artificial body parts or systems that mimic or replicate the functions of natural biological structures. It is often used in the development of prosthetics and other medical devices.

Artificial Organ: An artificial organ is a man-made device that is implanted or integrated into a human to replace a natural organ, for the purpose of restoring a specific function or a group of related functions, helping the patient to return to a normal life as soon as possible.

Prosthesis: A prosthesis is a device designed to replace a missing part of the body, or to make a part of the body work better. Diseased or missing eyes, arms, hands, legs, or joints are commonly replaced by prostheses.

Implantable Devices: These are devices that are inserted into a part of the body, usually surgically. They can be used for a variety of medical purposes, such as monitoring body functions, delivering medication, or augmenting biological structures.

Bioengineering: This is a discipline that applies engineering principles of design and analysis to biological systems and biomedical technologies. Examples of bioengineering research include bacteria engineered to produce chemicals, new medical imaging technology, portable disease diagnostic devices, and tissue engineered organs.

Tissue Engineering: This is a field of research that applies the principles of biology and engineering to the development of functional substitutes for damaged tissue. It involves the use of a combination of cells, engineering materials, and suitable biochemical factors to improve or replace biological functions.

Regenerative Medicine: This is a branch of medicine that develops methods to regrow, repair or replace damaged or diseased cells, organs or tissues. It includes the generation and use of therapeutic stem cells, tissue engineering and the production of artificial organs.

Neural Prosthetics: These are artificial devices or systems designed to generate, restore or augment function to the nervous system damaged by disease or injury.

Biocompatibility: This refers to the ability of a material to perform with an appropriate host response in a specific application. In the context of medical devices and implants, it refers to the ability of a material to perform its desired function without eliciting any undesirable local or systemic effects in the body.
