Does the biomedical industry include medical devices and healthcare services?

Biomedical industry consists of biotechnology industry and pharmaceutical industry*** together.

Biotechnology industry

The main contents of biotechnology industry include: enzyme engineering, biochip technology, gene sequencing technology, tissue engineering technology, bioinformation technology and so on. Biotechnology industry involves many fields such as medicine, energy, chemical industry and so on. The application of biotechnology to produce corresponding commodities, such commodities in the market to form a certain scale in order to form an industry, therefore, the connotation of biotechnology industry should include biotechnology product development, large-scale production and distribution services.

Pharmaceutical industry

Pharmaceutical industry and biomedical engineering industry are the two pillars of modern pharmaceutical industry.

1. Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical is the process of researching, developing and producing medicines by combining multidisciplinary theories and advanced technologies with each other, and adopting scientific and modernized mode. In addition to biopharmaceuticals, chemical and traditional Chinese medicines also occupy a certain proportion in the pharmaceutical industry.

2. Biomedical Engineering Industry

Biomedical engineering is a comprehensive application of the principles and methods of life sciences and engineering sciences, from the engineering point of view of molecules, cells, tissues, organs and even the entire human body system, multi-level understanding of the structure of the human body, functions, and other phenomena of life, and the study of artificial materials, products, devices and system technologies used for the prevention of disease, treatment of disease, human function and health care aids. The general name of the technology of artificial materials, products, devices and systems. Biomedical engineering industry includes: biomedical material products, (bio)artificial organs, medical imaging and diagnostic equipment, medical electronic instruments and monitoring devices, modern medical treatment equipment, medical information technology, rehabilitation engineering technology and devices, tissue engineering.
