"A core component of Biophan's business model and technology portfolio is based upon the creation of business applications of nanotechnology," said Mr. Weiner. "Early on, we recognized the significant potential of nanotechnology to enable truly revolutionary solutions and improvements in healthcare and many other industries." Biophan has achieved a leadership position in several areas of biomedical technology Biomedical technology involves the application of engineering and technology principles to the domain of living or biological systems. Usually biomedical denotes a greater stress on problems related to human health and diseases. . The Company initiated its work in the field by developing nanotechnology-based solutions to enable the safe and effective Magnetic Resonance Imaging magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), noninvasive diagnostic technique that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to produce cross-sectional images of organs and other internal body structures. (MRI 1. (application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface. ) of medical devices and surgical tools. Since then, the Company has progressed into other areas, such as the drug delivery marketplace, for which it is developing advanced solutions in its Nanolution Division. Biophan's other nanotechnology initiatives include areas such as an implantable bio-thermal power source designed to power and prolong the life of implanted medical devices, such as pacemakers Pacemakers Definition A pacemaker is a surgically-implanted electronic device that regulates a slow or erratic heartbeat. Purpose Pacemakers are implanted to regulate irregular contractions of the heart (arrhythmia). , neurostimulators, and other critical devices. It is co-developing that technology with NASA's Ames Center for Nanotechnology. Biophan is a biomedical development leader with a strong intellectual property portfolio of 156 U.S. patents, licenses, or applications and 46 international applications.
