From the reviews:
“Electrochemical applications in medicine are growing rapidly, and are under recognised, so the appearance of this book is timely. … It is likely to be of more interest to electrochemists than to a general medical audience, but will be important to medical specialists exploring electrochemical approaches to therapy and diagnosis. … this book is a timely and valuable contribution to a growing field, and it is to hoped will gain the attention of both clinicians and electrochemists.” (Michael Brand, Sensor 100 Newsletter, sensor100.com, June, 2013)
