ORIGIN OF BIOPOTENTIALS-BASIS OF FORMATION OF ALL MEDICAL EQUIPMENTS

The Origin of Biopotentials
(Review of physiological concepts)

•  Bioelectric phenomenon is  of immense importance to
biomedical engineers because these potentials are routinely
recorded in modern clinical practice.

•  ECG (Electrocardiogram), EMG (Electromyogram), EEG
(Electroencephalogram), ENG (Electroneurogram), EOG
(Electro-oculogram), ERG (Electroretinogram), etc. are some
examples of biopotentials.

•  As engineers, we should have a good physical insight into the
nature of electromagnetic fields generated by bioelectric
sources. Therefore we could contribute to quantitative solution
of biological problems.

To understand the origin of biopotentials we need to focus on:

•  Bioelectric phenomena at the cellular level

BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER SUMMER/SEMESTER TRAINING IN INDIA

I have come across a common inquiry in my blog that

  • Where to do biomedical training?
  • How to apply for biomedical training?
  • Which institutes offer training to biomedical students in country?
  • Is this training compulsory?
  • Why should one do training?
  • What is taught in training?

Taking it in reverse order first of all i would like to highlight

  • What happens in training?

It is a learning process that involves the acquisition of knowledge, sharpening of skills, concepts, rules, or changing of attitudes and behaviours to enhance the performance of students.

JOB DESCRIPTION OF A TYPICAL BIOMEDICAL ENGINEER

Biomedical engineers apply engineering principles and materials technology to healthcare. This can include researching, designing and developing medical products, such as joint replacements or robotic surgical instruments; designing or modifying equipment for clients with special needs in a rehabilitation setting; or managing the use of clinical equipment in hospitals and the community.

Biomedical engineers can be employed by health services, medical equipment manufacturers and research departments/institutes.

Job titles can vary depending on the exact nature of the work. As well as biomedical engineer you are likely to come across bioengineer; design engineer; and clinical scientist (in a hospital setting/clinical situation).

Biomedical Engineer choosen as one of the best 50 careers of 2010-breaking news

Biomedical Engineer

“As one of the 50 best careers of 2010, this should have strong growth over the next decade”

The rundown:

People today live longer and with better standards of living thanks to a host of factors, not least of which is the explosive advancement in medical processes, devices, and equipment.

Imagine medical care without asthma inhalers, artificial hearts, magnetic resonance imaging, or prosthetic limbs. Along with scientists and other professionals, biomedical engineers help develop the equipment and devices that improve or enable the preservation of health.

They apply their knowledge of engineering—particularly mechanical or electronic—to areas such as imaging, drug delivery, or biomaterials.

BIOSTEC 2010-BIOMEDICAL CONFERENCE

3rd International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies

Venue:

Valencia-Spain

Event Date:

20-23 January, 2010

The purpose of the 3rd International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies is to bring together researchers and practitioners, including engineers, biologists, health professionals and informatics/computer scientists, interested in both theoretical advances and applications of information systems, artificial intelligence, signal processing, electronics and other engineering tools in knowledge areas related to biology and medicine.
BIOSTEC is composed of three co-located conferences, each specialized in at least one of the aforementioned main knowledge areas.
