Biomedical engineering (BME) is an interdisciplinary field that applies engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology, aiming to advance healthcare through diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. This dynamic discipline, which has recently emerged as its own distinct field of study, encompasses a wide range of applications. Key contributions include developing biocompatible prostheses, creating various diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices—from micro-implants to imaging technologies like MRI—and pioneering regenerative tissue growth and pharmaceutical drugs. Biomedical engineers also play a crucial role in managing existing medical equipment in hospitals, ensuring its procurement, maintenance, and adherence to industry standards. The field integrates diverse subfields such as bioinformatics for analyzing biological data, biomechanics for studying mechanical systems, biomaterials for developing compatible substances, and biomedical optics for light-based sensing and imaging, all working towards enhancing patient care.
