    Study Notes

    Biomedical Engineering

    • Biomedical engineering is a broad field that involves application of engineering principles to medical devices, systems, and processes.
    • Biomedical engineers are expected to have knowledge of medical devices, their design, regulation, and use, as well as safety aspects.

    What is Design?

    • Design is not research or craftsmanship, but involves the integration of knowledge to accomplish a task.
    • Design may require research, and involves devices, processes, re-engineering, systems, optimization, regulations, finances, innovation, and invention.

    Design Principles

    • Verb: invent, intend, devise
    • Noun: drawing, arrangement, pattern, plan, art of making designs

    What Might be Designed?

    • Optimization of T cell trapping in a microfluidic device
    • Biomedical devices (e.g. patient brace, tracking device, hand exerciser)
    • Biomedical systems (e.g. patient record-keeping system, vaccine database system)
    • Biomedical processes (e.g. patient flow in an emergency room, patient communication in a breast cancer clinic)

    Basic but Essential Questions

    • Who?
    • What?
    • Where?
    • When?
    • Why?
    • How?

    Design Process

    • Generalized flowchart for design process includes:
      • What, Who, Where, When, Why
      • How
      • Go/No-go decision
    • National Academy of Science (NAS) design process includes:
      • Mission requirements analysis
      • Product specification
      • Concept development
      • Preliminary product and process design
      • System prototype development
      • Preparation for production
      • Production, testing, certification, delivery
      • Operation, support, maintenance, disposal

    Other Design Concerns

    • Retracing if problem is ill defined
    • Excessive documentation
    • Human patients, animal studies, permissions
    • Design is often iterative
    • Delving into already patented information bases
    • Teamwork, finances, reality
