Applying engineering principles to develop and design medical devices and technologies.

"Biomedical engineering (BME) or medical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g., diagnostic or therapeutic)."
"BME is also traditionally logical sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy."
"Also included under the scope of a biomedical engineer is the management of current medical equipment in hospitals while adhering to relevant industry standards."
"This involves procurement, routine testing, preventive maintenance, and making equipment recommendations."
"Biomedical engineering has recently emerged as its own study, as compared to many other engineering fields."
"Much of the work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, spanning a broad array of subfields."
"Prominent biomedical engineering applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, various diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices, regenerative tissue growth, pharmaceutical drugs, and therapeutic biologicals."
