With the introduction new diseases and research in medical sciences there came up a need to tackle this mammoth problem, which required highly sophisticated instruments to diagnose and cure these problems, here comes the birth of biomedical engineering.
Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology. This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis, monitoring and therapy.
ROLE OF BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER:
· Design new medical monitoring, diagnostic and therapeutic equipments.
· Specify, set up and maintain biomedical equipment.
· Analyze new medical producers to forecast likely outcomes.
· Analyze and design prosthetic and orthotic devices.
· Measure and maintain physiological systems.
· Provide computer analysis of patient related data.
· Design and develop equipments for medical imaging to display anatomical detail or physiological system.
