Medical Engineering encompasses a broad range of activities, and is alternatively called Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering. It is a multi-disciplinary subject integrating professional engineering activities with a basic medical knowledge of the human body and an understanding of how it functions when healthy, diseased or injured. Many of the advances in this field now seem commonplace – hip replacements, pacemakers, medical imaging, life support systems and medical lasers are just a few examples of the results of the work of Medical Engineers.

Medical Engineers are needed for the healthcare industry, the world’s biggest industrial sector, which has a turnover approaching $100 billion per annum and is currently expanding at a rate of 7% per annum. The opportunities for Medical Engineering graduates are enormous and it is one of the few areas of engineering that is expected to continue to grow for many years. The advancements in medical technology not only assist medical practitioners in their work. Patients, and therefore the public at large, also rely on these advancements for their quality of life.

Hip replacement devices are just one area where medical engineering is playing a vital role in supporting health practitioners and benefitting public health. As a very common operation, hip replacement surgery has brought pain relief and renewed mobility to millions of people worldwide. Continuing research is further exploring ways to improve the performance of artificial hip joints and extend life-spans so they can be used for longer periods and on younger and more active patients. In addition, further technological advancements have recently seen developments in artificial limb technology. Bionic arms with powered finger, wrist, elbow and shoulder movement is one such area undergoing amazing developments in research. Other exciting advancements involve the development of artificial tendons that respond to electrical currents and behave in a way similar to human muscles, allowing for greater usability and control of artificial limbs.

Another exciting advancement that will greatly impact the public health sector and improve quality of life includes research in the area of artificial retina chips. These artificial chips would be designed to replace a damaged retina and partly restore lost vision. This advancement will have far reaching applications for people with limited sight and greatly improve their quality of life. The potential to transform the quality of life for these people is huge. Medical technology is vital to the wellbeing of our heathcare sectors and the wellbeing of our society.
