This document discusses cyber-physical systems (CPS) and their potential applications in healthcare. It provides an introduction to CPS, describing them as integrated cyber and physical systems that interact in feedback loops. The document outlines some key challenges in CPS design like integrating heterogeneous components, handling hybrid discrete-continuous dynamics, and adapting to dynamic environments. It then discusses potential applications of CPS in areas like smart traffic control, smart power grids, and medical systems. The document concludes by discussing security challenges in medical CPS and opportunities for future work in this area.
