Prompted Post 9: Importance of Biomedical Engineering.

This week I had to find an article on the internet discussing the importance of my field. The article I found discussed the importance of biomedical engineering in Asia. The article talks a lot about biomedical engineering as a whole before it delves into the topics I was looking for. The article shifts and begins discussing the importance of biomedical engineering in Asia. First it talks about how many institutions in Asia are now offering this subject as a major. Then the article talks about the many applications of biomedical engineering in the area. In places such as china an increase in professionals in this area of study is somewhat of a necessity. The article states, “an aging population and change in lifestyles have resulted in new diseases” (Importance of Biomedical Engineering in Asia). This means that more biomedical engineers are needed to make products and screening techniques to evolve China’s knowledge of medicine to keep up with their transition in disease prevalence due to their relatively recent industrial shift.

                This article shows how the Asian countries are in need of biomedical engineers. But it isn’t just Asian countries that need biomedical engineers; the whole world needs them to make medicine easier and more effective. The more engineers there are in the world the more brains can be put to the task of creating great inventions that will make tons of people’s lives that much easier. There is so many things that biomedical engineers can do to make people’s lives easier. They can prolong people’s lives so they can spend their last days with more comfort and make other products that can make it so that people can walk again after their leg has been amputated. Biomedical engineering is instrumental to the world of medicine.
