What is biomedical
engineering?
Biomedical engineering is the result of the application of engineering principles and techniques to
the fields of medicine and biology.
Biomedical Engineering is In this practical science,
a recently created different instruments
discipline. that help medicine can
be recognized, such as:
Its most accepted definition
could be the applicationof
the
beginning of the
engineering to life
sciences.
Thermomet X-ray

mathematics, physics and
chemistry to solve
problems in medicine,
biology, biotechnology,
pharmacy, among others.

Applications of biomedical
engineering
This fantastic combination of engineering and life and health sciences has resulted in
interesting research projects in the fields of Biology and Medicine.
The engineers In addition, they participate The engineers
Biomedical scientists are in the management and Biomedical scientists are
dedicated to the design and administration of resources also dedicated to the
creation of health products in the
hospitals, Thus, design of bone prostheses,

Biomedical engineering is also responsible for the design of prostheses and dental
appliances such as dental veneers, crowns or braces that are used in any dental clinic to
correct the many problems that can arise with teeth and in the mouth as a whole.

Characteristics of
biomedical engineering
• Computer engineering or electronic computer science: Biomedical
engineers know how to develop electronic circuits to acquire data and
know how to process that data to create hardware and software
solutions.
• Life Sciences: A biomedical engineer also knows about biochemistry,
biology, pathology, physiology, and genetics. Not at the same level as a
doctor, but they do have great knowledge on the subject.

Every day in the field of medical technologies there is great progress, and therefore the
equipment is more sophisticated and expensive, which limits medical professionals in their
need to keep up with these changes.
Often, in the development of these technologies, achievements obtained in research in
technical sciences and exact sciences are used, so their operating principles are, in many
cases, beyond the reach of life science professionals, who are merely users.
