Abstract

Origami constructions, inspired by the ancient Japanese art of folding paper, are gaining importance in mathematics and science. The paper explores the mathematical aspects of origami, with a focus on their geometric constructions and applications. Applications of origami in the field of medicine were investigated. The paper also discusses and addresses advanced topics such as modular origami and origami computing. Through this work, the goal is to understand the potential of origami as a creative and interdisciplinary tool in the medical field, highlighting opportunities for innovation and progress.
