Scope of Bio-Medical Engineering

 Scope of Bio-Medical Engineering

      Straddling the life sciences, the physical sciences and engineering, Nature Biomedical Engineering covers materials, therapies, devices, technology, systems, methods and processes that facilitate the understanding of human disease, or its prevention, diagnosis, treatment, alleviation or monitoring.

    The journal disseminates biological, medical and engineering advances-of fundamental, mechanistic, methodological, technological, therapeutic, translational or clinical that can directly lead to or inspire improvements in human health or healthcare. The emphasis is on advances that draw on both the biomedical sciences and the physical sciences, engineering, mathematics or informatics.

   The scope hence excludes advances that improve the understanding of human biology or disease but whose relevance for health or healthcare is judged to be insufficient, as well as advances that do not make use of principles or tools from the physical sciences or engineering.




Is biomedical engineering have good scope?

  Jobs for biomedical Engineering consists of subfields like tissue, cellular and genetic engineering, computational biology, biomaterials, bio-nanotechnology, medical imaging and biomedical electronics, among many others. This makes an immense job for biomedical engineers.

Does biomedical engineering have scope in future?

   Professionals in this field are in-demand and can garner good job opportunities salary packages. If this field of engineering interests you, read this to know all about biomedical engineering, its scope, job opportunities and salary packages.

What is the best job for biomedical engineering?

   Software and hardware engineering.
    Medical device industry.
    Innovation design and development.
    Research and development.
    Manufacturing.
    Equipment testing and field servicing.
    Clinical patient evaluation.
    Technical documentation.
    Sales.
    Hospital equipment selection and support.
    Teaching.
    Management.
    U.G preparation for medicine, dentistry.

Jobs for biomedical engineering majors

  Approximately half of our biomedical engineering majors go to graduate, medical, dental  after graduation. Others go straight into the workforce. Some recent employers of our biomedical engineering majors are:

     Baxter Health Care
     Boston scientific corp
     De puy
     Epic systems corporation
     GE Healthcare
     Medtronic Inc
     Mortara Instruments
     Siemens Medical systems
     Stryker VA Hospitals
     Zimmer
     Zoll

Every technological innovation is a useful tool for human progress. A bio medical engineering enables doctors to design devices that can help millions of people around globe. Meanwhile, a doctor can only offer help and treatment to a single patient at a time. Job diversity is very high. As a result, you get to work on new problems, diverse teams and locations; and roles change as your career progresses. Innovation and Impact are highlights of a career as Biomedical engineers.

   Additionally, a corporate career has advantages of medical insurance, paid vacation, sick leave, and a retirement plan, further advancing the scope for biomedical engineering.

Short wave diathermy

-
Image
       The diathermy means, 'through heating' or producing deep heating directly in the tissues of the body.          Externally applied sources of heat like hot towels, infrared lamps and electric heating pads often produce discomfort and skin burns long before adequate heat has penetrated to the deeper tissues.          But with the diathermy technique, the subject's body becomes a part of the electrical circuit and the heat is produced within the body and not transferred through the skin.          The heating of the tissues is carried out by high frequency alternating current which generally has a frequency of 27.12 MHz and wavelength of 11m. The short wave diathermy machine consists of 2 main circuits.                       * Oscillating circuit - which produces a high frequency current.              ...

Electrocardiogram

    ELECTROCARDIOGRAM       An electrocardiogram  records the electrical signals in the heart .  It's a common and painless test used to quickly detect heart problems and monitor the heart's health.      Electrical signals from the heart characteristically precede the normal mechanical function and monitoring of these signals has great clinical significance.     ECG provides valuable information about wide range of cardiac disorders such as the presence of an inactive part(infarction) or an enlargement (cardiac hypertrophy) of the heart muscle.

History of Artificial limb

-

  Artificial limb (c. 550 B.C.E)         The earliest written reference to an artificial limb occurs in an epic Indian poem"Rig-Veda", which was compiled between 35000 and 1800 B.C.E written in Sanskrit the poem includes a description of the amputation of the warrior Queen vishpla's leg during battle. Later fitted with an iron prosthesis by the Ashvins (celestial physicians),she returned to combat.        Most authorities doubt the story of Queen Vishpla, and turn to the Histories of Herodotus for the first plausible reference to a prosthetic limb. Herodotus describes how, in the mid sixth century B.C.E.,Hegesistratus of Eli's, a Persian soldier and seer imprisoned by the Spartans, was sentenced to death, and cut off part of his foot to escape from the stocks. Hegesistratus fashioned a wooden prosthesis to help walk the 30 miles (48 km) to Tregea, but unfortunately was captured by Zaccynthius and beheaded.          ...
