By combining Biology and Medicine with engineering, Biomedical Engineers develop devices and procedures which solve medical and health-related problems. The Biomedical engineers design devices used in various medical procedures, such as the computers employed to analyze blood or the laser systems used in the corrective eye surgery. They develop artificial organs, imaging systems like magnetic resonance, ultrasound, and x-ray, and devices for automating insulin injections or controlling body functions.
Biomedical Engineers also do research, along with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists, to develop and appraise systems and products like artificial organs, prostheses (artificial devices which replace missing body parts), instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems.
