Biomedical engineering is one of the latest engineering sciences emerging with the development of modern medicine.
After physicians complete all tasks of diagnosis, treatment, and even manufacture of drugs on their own, biomedical engineers become important partners for physicians in the diagnosis, treatment, and treatment of patients. And given the urgent need to develop medical devices to serve the health of patients and their speedy recovery, it requires the intervention of experts from fields outside medicine to design these devices, such as electrical, mechanical, and computer engineers.
These engineers must also be familiar with medical sciences such as human anatomy and physiology, as well as other medical sciences, to understand how each of these systems works. They use their knowledge and engineering expertise to develop these devices. And here was the beginning of this advanced specialization at the level of the two fields.
“Biomedical Engineering” is concerned with the study of the human body, but from an engineering point of view.
The main tasks of biomedical engineering are to know the human body or the body of an organism so thoroughly that it can come up with prostheses, organs or medical devices that are suitable for each organism individually.
Biomedical engineering arose as a result of developments in the fields of medicine, engineering, and biology in general, and as a result of the development of modern medicine in particular.
