Medical Electronics

Medical Electronics is a specialised discipline, which integrates engineering with Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Practice. Medical Electronics engineers develop imaging devices such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems such as automating insulin injections or controlling body functions. This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine. The discipline is a combination of design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences in order to develop healthcare treatment, which includes diagnosis, monitoring, treatment and therapy. Increasing demand for improved medical devices and systems is promoting research in various fields such as Bio-mechanics, Medical Imaging, Bio Signal Processing and Biosensors. Career options for medical engineers include working in research labs, hospitals for medical equipment maintenance and developing medical software.

Medical electronics engineering is a broader field of study that appeals to aspirants desiring to be technological, and, at the same time, dedicate their careers to saving lives by helping physicians and nurses in their treatment process and patients who are suffering from various kinds of ailments. Aspirants can study postgraduate and research programmes in Medical electronics engineering. Universities all over the globe offer this course. On completion of the course, aspirants can look out for a career in government agencies and also in private sector. Most of the medical electronics engineers work in healthcare facilities, research laboratories, and medical institutes.
