Biomedical Engineering focuses on technology and processes that medical professionals use and apply to solve complex health problems. Biomedical engineers have a huge impact on how, when, where and why medical care is delivered. You can find them doing things like designing new implants for patients with hip fractures, developing tools that can detect minor heart attacks before they magnify into ventricular fibrillation, and developing the means to deliver drugs to cure local infections or to maintain blood sugar levels in diabetes.
