Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles to improve healthcare by designing medical devices and technologies to aid those who have lost limbs or have disabilities. It combines engineering and medical sciences to develop bionic arms, legs, and other prosthetics that are controlled through implanted devices and help people regain mobility and independence by allowing them to walk, grab objects, and perform other functions. Biomedical engineering also assists physicians in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

What is biomedical engineering?
Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering
principles and techniques to the medical field. This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine. It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to improve healthcare diagnosis and treatment. How does biomedical engineering help us? Biomedical engineering helps: Veterans that have lost their arms, legs, etc. Babies with birth defects. People who were in accidents (ex. Car crashes). Elderly people. What does it look like???
This is a bionic arm. It is for people who have lost or have
no arms. Bionic Leg
This is a bionic leg. It has the same concept as the bionic
arm but it is a leg. How do bionic body parts work? First, a small control device is implanted into the human’s body. The small part then sends a message to the bionic arm, leg etc. what to do. Then, the body part will respond to the message by moving with controls. What can biomedical engineering do? Biomedical engineering is capable of: Helping people walk. Helping people pick up/grab things. Helping people see. Helping people pump blood to their body. Helping physicians to prevent, diagnose and treatment diseases.
