Biomedical Engineering and its applications
The branch of science which deals with the study of principles of engineering is known as
biomedical engineering. Further, these principles are collected or get collaborated with medical
science in order to deliver or provide the health care service at national and international level.
The sector of the health care industry is getting expanded and wide with the rise in awareness
and population this is the reason due to which the people nowadays prefer the biomedical
treatment for the resolution of their health issues (Mohebbi, Nezhad, Zarrintaj, Jafari,
Gholizadeh, Saeb, Mozafari, 2019). This will help biomedical engineers by increasing
employment. If other existed occupations are compared with the growth rate of biomedical
engineering will be found higher and faster. In this sector the wide area of diagnosis and
application of therapeutic are found. This sector is the combination of engineering and science
so that by using the techniques introduced is wide is for the study as it includes techniques which
include technological and medical functions. However this branch of science is used for the
rehabilitation of disabled patients (Lee, Ostrowski, Daly, Huang-Saad, Seifert, 2019).
The biomedical engineers are defined with some roles and responsibilities which are defined
below:
The bio-medical types of equipment can be repaired, install, maintain and repaired with the help
of technical support. The biomedical appliances can be evaluated with their safety and
effectiveness with this sector. It provides supports to life scientists for conducting their research
in order to find the biological systems of all the living organisms through the aspect of
engineering. By the introduction of biomedical engineering the pieces of training which are
conducted for the members of clinics and other staff can get the entire information and
knowledge about the equipment which is getting used in the treatment. It is the responsibility of
the biomedical engineers to design the electric circuits, develop software through which the
medical equipment can be run. According to research in recent years the programs associated
with biomedical engineering are increased. Sydney has introduced biomedical engineering as its
one of the major engineering degree course preferred by the people (Rasel, Singh, Nguyen ,
Afara, Gu, 2019). However with all these improvements for the professional biomedical
engineering remains small in the market. Across the globe the market of medical imaging,
medical device, and monitoring technologies for patients is approximately 2%. The Biomedical

engineers are not same as other engineers from all aspects as they have a responsibility for
improving the human health and for this they must have knowledge about the biological
principles from perspective of engineering. In this industry there are many opportunities to
innovate, design and to develop new as well as advanced diagnostic tools or medical equipment.
These equipment or tools are designed and developed by considering the standard required for
the medical sector imposed by the government. As it is obvious that the medical diagnosis is that
sector which will become wide and large with double speed hence there are huge opportunities in
biomedical engineering (Nemirko, Manilo, 2019).
