Abstract

Engineers play a critical role in the advancement of biomedical science and the development of diagnostic and therapeutic technologies for human well-being. The complexity of medical problems requires the synthesis of diverse knowledge systems and clinical experiences to develop solutions. Therefore, engineers in the healthcare and biomedical industries are interdisciplinary by nature to innovate technical tools in sophisticated clinical settings. In academia, engineering is usually divided into disciplines with dominant characteristics. Since biomedical engineering has been established as an independent curriculum, the term "biomedical engineers" often refers to the population from a specific discipline. In fact, engineers who contribute to medical and healthcare innovations cover a broad range of engineering majors, including electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, industrial engineering, and computer sciences. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the contributions of different engineering professions to the development of innovative biomedical solutions. We use the term "engineers in medicine" to refer to all talents who integrate the body of engineering knowledge and biological sciences to advance healthcare systems.

医学工程师:跨越边界促进创新。

工程师在生物医学科学的进步和人类福祉的诊断和治疗技术的发展中发挥着至关重要的作用。医学问题的复杂性需要综合不同的知识体系和临床经验来制定解决方案。因此，医疗保健和生物医学行业的工程师本质上是跨学科的，可以在复杂的临床环境中创新技术工具。在学术界，工程通常被划分为具有主导特征的学科。由于生物医学工程已被确立为一门独立的课程，“生物医学工程师”一词通常是指来自特定学科的人群。事实上，为医疗保健创新做出贡献的工程师涵盖了广泛的工程专业，包括电气工程、机械工程、化学工程、工业工程和计算机科学。本文全面回顾了不同工程专业对创新生物医学解决方案发展的贡献。我们使用“医学工程师”一词是指所有整合工程知识和生物科学的人才，以推进医疗保健系统。

期刊介绍： Biomedical engineering has been characterized as the application of concepts drawn from engineering, computing, communications, mathematics, and the physical sciences to scientific and applied problems in the field of medicine and biology. Concepts and methodologies in biomedical engineering extend throughout the medical and biological sciences. This journal attempts to critically review a wide range of research and applied activities in the field. More often than not, topics chosen for inclusion are concerned with research and practice issues of current interest. Experts writing each review bring together current knowledge and historical information that has led to the current state-of-the-art.
