“…The Fourth Industrial Revolution, characterized by the integration of advanced technologies, has the potential to significantly impact the development of nations in the Global South, particularly in the fields of Biomedical Engineering, digital health, and the pharmaceutical industry (Ajmera & Jain, 2019;Bali & Bali, 2020;Celesti, Amft, & Villari, 2019; de Melo e Castro e Melo & AraĆŗjo, 2020;Jayanthi, Iyyanki, Mothkuri, & Vadakattu, 2020;Kim & Han, 2020;Mahomed, 2018;Pang, Yuan, Zhang, & Packirisamy, 2018;Xiong, 2021). These technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics, offer unique opportunities for improving healthcare access, delivery, and outcomes in resource-constrained settings (Banerjee, Chakraborty, Kumar, & Biswas, 2020;Kaur, Garg, & Gupta, 2021;Poyner & Sherratt, 2019;Shafqat et al, 2020;Thakare, Khire, & Kumbhar, 2022;Turcu & Turcu, 2013). In Biomedical Engineering, these advancements can enhance the design and development of medical devices, diagnostics, and prosthetics, providing affordable and tailored solutions to address specific healthcare needs (Aguado, Grim, Rosales, Watson-Capps, & Anseth, 2018;Ghosh, Ning, Wang, & Kong, 2018;Primiceri et al, 2018).…”
