BIO-MEDICAL ENGINEERING

What is Biomedical Engineering ? Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering techniques and analyses to problem-solving in medicine and the biomedical sciences. In most aspects of health care, disease prevention and treatment, or rehabilitation, there are problems that require an engineering approach. These may include developing systems to maintain and enhance life, designing replacement parts for people, or creating systems to allow the handicapped to use computers for work and communication. The growing complexity of medical technology has increased the demand for appropriately trained professionals to bridge the gap between clinical medicine and applied medical technology. These personnel must be capable of defining a medical problem in engineering science terms and of finding a solution that satisfies both engineering and medical requirements. Such trained personnel constitute the core of biomedical engineers. The biomedical engineer has expertise in engineering scien...
