Clinical engineering is a branch of biomedical engineering, which studies the practical implantation of medical equipment and medical technology in hospitals or other clinical environments. The main functions of clinical engineering include training and supervising biomedical equipment technicians (BMETs), selecting technical products/services and logistics management of their implementation, cooperating with government supervision departments for inspection/audit, and providing technical consultation for other hospital personnel (such as doctors, administrators, information technology personnel, etc.). ).
Clinical engineers also provide consultation and cooperation for medical equipment manufacturers on future design optimization based on clinical experience, and monitor the latest progress to redesign the ordering model accordingly.
