1. Evolution of the Modern Health Care System The Ancient Health Care System 1.Sick child related to superstitious things 2.Hyppocrates – 460 B.C Systematic observations not superstition Ethical principle which form our current ethical guidelines 3.European Florence Nightingale- health care of soldiers (Crimean War) Invention of microscope- van Leeuwenhoek (1670s) Pasteur (1860s) Semmelweis (1840s) – hand washing Lister (1860s) –antiseptics Koch (1870s) – microbe with disease Fleming (1920s) – penicillin

2. What is Biomedical Engineering? Application of engineering technology to fields of medicine and biology. Combines design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences Improve the quality of life by developing and advancing medical care and technology Emerging field Interdisciplinary – engineers, physicians, nurses, therapists, biologists

3. Biomedical Engineering Special Fields Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals ◦Use “biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof.” ◦Tissue Engineering Ability to take cells out of a person and keep them alive in culture for an extended period of time in order to create artificial organs ◦Genetic Engineering Direct manipulation of an organism’s genes ◦Pharmaceutical Engineering Development of pharmaceutical products such as drugs
12
Medical Devices ◦Diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease ◦Medical imaging enables clinicians to directly or indirectly view things not visible in plain sight MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) Projection radiography such as x-rays and CT scans Ultrasound MRI for Axial and coronal DTI measurements
13
◦Bioinstrumentation uses electronics (computers) and measurement principles: Nervous system: EMG-Muscle/ EEG-brain, ◦Cardiovascular: ECG- heart/blood pressure The evolution of electrocardiograph
14
◦Artificial Organs and Implants are used to replace and act as a missing biological structure Pacemaker Artificial heart Corrective lenses Ocular prosthetics Cochlear implants Dental implants
15
Biomechanics ◦Uses mechanics applied to biological or medical problems Joint or limb replacements Design ergonomic devices Study disease mechanisms Challenges: Linking to biological inputs Sensory feedback Complexity of biology (arm alone is controlled by >70 muscles Controlled strength
16
Neural Engineering Neural Engineering Understand, repair, replace, enhance, or otherwise exploit the properties of neural systems. Solve design problems at the interface of living neural tissue and non-living constructs Neural imaging Neural networks Neural interfaces Brain computer interfaces Microsystems Microelectrode arrays Neural prostheses Neurorobotics Neural tissue regeneration Grafts Neural enhancement
17
Neural prostheses Chemical, electrical, and mechanical backgrounds Restoring lost neurological function
18
Neural prostheses – A different approach Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) Relocate nerves from arm to chest Electrode picks up neuron firing in chest Software analyzes firing and drives actuator
19
Clinical Engineering ◦Deals with actual implementation of medical equipment and technologies in hospitals and other clinical settings ◦Health care systems management ◦Overall hospital planning and development ◦Safety and risk management

When Med.Doctors meet Engineers What kind of R & D had been conducted so far? (areas, research team, market, funding, etc.) What kind of cooperation was observed between medical doctors and engineers regarding the R & D? What factors promoted or limited the cooperation? What measures were necessary for promoting cooperation? What kind of cooperation did R & D have from firms? How did they evaluate government policy and regulations?
