Interacts with the human body. Function: collects real‑time physiological data (e.g., heart rate, ECG) and converts physical signals to digital.

ii. Cyber Layer (Computation & Communication)

The “intelligence” layer. Function: processes and analyzes sensor data, runs control algorithms, makes decisions, communicates with healthcare providers.

iii. Actuation Layer (Control & Response)

Performs physical actions based on cyber layer decisions. Function: executes medical interventions (insulin injection, pacemaker adjustment), provides alerts, controls devices in real time.

📋 COMPREHENSIVE SUMMARY

📌 Chapter 2 – Part 1: Everything in one place (easy recap)

                    CPS applications domains: Medical, Industrial, Transportation, Smart Home, Smart City.
Every CPS follows a 3‑layer pattern: Sensing (perception) → Cyber/Control (decision) → Actuation (physical action).
Medical CPS: Sensing (ECG, wearables) → Cyber (analyze, decide) → Actuation (insulin pump, pacemaker).
Industrial CPS: Machine sensors → Industrial controller → Robotic actuators.
Transportation CPS: Cameras/LiDAR → Vehicle control unit → Steering/brake actuators.
Smart Home CPS: Motion/temp sensors → Home hub/cloud → Smart lights/locks.
Smart City CPS: Traffic/air sensors → Central traffic management → Adaptive signals/parking signs.
Key difference from IoT: CPS emphasises tight feedback loop between sensing, decision, and physical action (often real‑time). IoT focuses more on connectivity and data exchange.
