Medical device engineering

Medical device engineering involves designing, developing, and testing tools and equipment used in healthcare to diagnose, monitor, or treat patients. Engineers combine principles of biology, medicine, and engineering to create devices like MRI machines, pacemakers, surgical instruments, and prosthetics. They ensure these devices are safe, effective, and reliable by focusing on materials, functionality, and user interface. This field requires a balance of technical skill, understanding of healthcare needs, and adherence to strict safety standards, ultimately helping improve patient outcomes and quality of care.
