Introduction Smart composite materials with different embedded sensors have been lately subject of a particular attention in fields beyond the so-called traditional engineering.
Recent advances in the use of printed circuit board techniques make it possible to embed piezoceramics with minimal impact on the original system [4-5] In this study thicker piezoelectric ceramics (0.3 mm) were used for their actuation properties.

The US Institute of Medicine and the National Academy of Engineering regarded HFE as a key systems engineering tool to design and improve healthcare systems, and produce improvements in quality of care and patient safety.
The IOM has proposed the application of engineering concepts and methods, in particular system engineering to improve the design of these systems.
However to address the root cause of problem more effectively, this review, highlights that simulation modeling can be regarded as a powerful engineering tool to investigate the problem by identifying sources of bottleneck and inefficiency within health care delivery systems.
