Biomedical instrumentation is a specialty of electrical engineering concerned with the development, design, manufacturing, maintenance, and use of medical instruments. Biomedical instrument engineers use their knowledge of electricity, electronics, computer science, and physics to design instruments that diagnose, treat, and monitor patients.

The fields of application of biomedical instrumentation are numerous and varied. These include, among others, medical imaging, medical therapy, patient monitoring, medical robotics, and bioengineering.

Biomedical instrumentation engineers work in a variety of settings, including :

  • Hospitals and clinics, where they participate in the development and maintenance of medical equipment.
  • The pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, design instruments for research and development.
  • Medical device manufacturing companies, where participate in the design, manufacturing, and testing of products.

They must also be able to work in a team, communicate effectively, and resolve complex problems.

Biomedical instrumentation is an exciting and challenging field that offers many career opportunities.
