Biomedicine is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field that synthesizes the theories and methods of medicine, life sciences, and biology, and its basic task is to apply biology and engineering technology to study and solve problems in life sciences, especially medicine.
Biomedicine is a base for academic research and innovation in biomedical information, medical imaging technology, gene chips, nanotechnology, new materials and other technologies. With the proposal of the social-psychological-biomedical model, the development of systems biology,
the formation of the modern systems of biomedicine is closely related to the formation and development of biotechnology in the 21st century. Improvement of medical diagnostic level and human's own health is an important engineering field.
Biomedical scientists study a wide range of fields, cancer, diabetes, toxicology research, blood transfusion, anemia, myelitis, hepatitis, AIDS, these are the medical field of their inquiry. In addition, biomedical scientists play a key role in cervical smear screening, identification of viruses and conditions, and monitoring the effectiveness of medications and other diagnostic and treatment programs.
Biomedical scientists make extensive use of computers in their day-to-day work, and have access to high-precision instruments, microscopes, and other high-tech laboratory equipment. They are knowledgeable and familiar with the operation of many complex high-tech instruments.
Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary field, closely related to bioengineering, and is primarily characterized by the application of engineering methods to the medical field. It combines engineering and medicine to improve healthcare, help patients receive better care and improve the quality of life of healthy individuals.
Research and development is a major part of the work of a biomedical engineer, and it covers a very broad field: bioinformatics, medical imaging, image processing, physiological signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials, systems analysis, 3D modeling, and more.
Examples of biomedical engineering applications are biocompatible prostheses, medical devices, diagnostic equipment, imaging devices such as MRI and EEG, and medical drugs.
