Biomedical engineering is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary field that combines engineering and life sciences. Due to the advanced developments in electronics and computing domains, medical sciences and its allied areas are being explored to a new paradigm of technological breakthrough. Biomedical engineering is playing an important role in interfacing the computational infrastructure with medical domainto supports physicians in decision making.
The Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Amrita Biomedical Engineering (AMBE) jointly offer the M.Tech. program in Biomedical Engineering. Biomedical engineering is a strong multidisciplinary field which aims at using the principles of engineering in biology and medicine. It encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, a few of which are Biomedical Instrumentation, Biosensors, Biomedical Signal Processing, Biomaterials, and Artificial Intelligence for Healthcare. The integration of medicine and engineering has revolutionized the health industry to produce outcomes which could not even have been imagined a few years back. Advanced technological developments in health care have been made possible due to the synergistic contribution of engineers, mathematicians, physicians, computer scientists, and other professionals.
Biomedical engineering plays a vital role in interfacing technology with the medical domain, to support physicians in decision-making. The integration of computers with medical care has resulted in significantly more information to be used for the diagnosis and to predict the progress of diseases in a well-defined manner. Students pursuing the programme would be able to develop and implement algorithms for objective interpretation and analysis of biological data. The primary goal is to successfully practice biomedical engineering to serve healthcare institutions, academia, and industry at regional, national and international levels and to achieve personal and professional success with commitment to ethical and social responsibility, both as individuals and in team environments.
