Design biomedical devices that save lives! Create: (1) Prosthetic limbs (3D-printed, myoelectric control), (2) Insulin pumps (closed-loop glucose monitoring), (3) Pacemakers (heart rhythm regulation), (4) Surgical robots (da Vinci system), (5) Diagnostic tools (ultrasound, MRI coils). Process: define medical problem → user research (doctors, patients) → CAD design (biomaterials selection, ergonomics) → simulation (FEA stress testing, electrical safety) → prototyping (3D printing titanium/polymer) → clinical trials (FDA approval process).

Biomedical engineering: combine mechanical/electrical engineering + biology/medicine. Key considerations: biocompatibility (materials non-toxic, non-allergenic), sterilization (autoclave-safe), reliability (medical-grade, failure rates <0.01%), human factors (usability for patients/doctors), regulatory compliance (FDA Class I/II/III, CE marking Europe). Real devices studied: cochlear implants (restore hearing), artificial hearts (bridge to transplant), glucose monitors (continuous CGM), surgical staples (absorbable sutures).

Interdisciplinary teamwork: engineers, doctors, material scientists, regulators. Career paths: biomedical engineer, clinical engineer, regulatory affairs, quality assurance. Perfect for students interested medicine + engineering!
