Engineers in the biomedical field provide tools to advance human health. In order to develop innovative gadgets for enhancing human health, biomedical engineers concentrate on developments in technology and medicine. To treat and prevent human disease, biomedical engineers use their understanding of physics, engineering, arithmetic, computing, and material science. There can be a need for registration or licensing.
