Biomedical engineering (BME) or medical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare applications (e.g., diagnostic or therapeutic purposes).
Herman P. Schwan (7 August 1915 – 17 March 2005) was a biomedical engineer and biophysicist, recognized as the "founding father of biomedical engineering." He was born in Aachen , Germany, and died in his home Radnor, Pennsylvania .
Otto Herbert Schmitt (April 6, 1913 – January 6, 1998) was an American inventor, engineer, and biophysicist known for his scientific contributions to biophysics and for establishing the field of biomedical engineering.
Biological engineering is a science-based discipline founded upon the biological sciences in the same way that chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering [7] can be based upon chemistry, electricity and magnetism, and classical mechanics, respectively.
Biomedical engineering was most developed in the nineteenth century. In the recent years, biomedical engineering has gained popularity and focused on creating solutions for issues in human physiology. Since then, inventions such as X-rays and stethoscopes have progressed and revolutionized the medical field. [12]
Biomedical researchers demonstrate a switchable Yamanaka factors-reprogramming-based approach for regeneration of damaged heart without tumor-formation with success in mice if the intervention is done immediately before or after a heart attack. [155] [156] The World Health Organization endorses the first malaria vaccine – the antiparasitic ...
The term clinical engineering was first used in a 1969 paper by Landoll and Caceres. [2] Caceres, a cardiologist, is generally credited with coining the term.. The broader field of biomedical engineering also has a relatively recent history, with the first inter-society engineering meeting focused on engineering in medicine probably held in 1948.
David A. Edwards (born April 6, 1961) is an American biomedical engineer, and the founder of Sensory Cloud. [1] [2] He was the Gordon McKay Professor of the Practice of Biomedical Engineering at Harvard University. [3] [4] Edwards designs inhalable medicines, vaccines and victuals. [5] [6] [7]
