History
• In 2000, German archeologists uncovered a
3,000-year-old mummy fromThebes with a
wooden prosthetic tied to its foot to serve as a
big toe.
• Researchers said the wear on the bottom surface
suggests that it could be the oldest known limb
prosthesis.
History (cont’d)
• Egyptians also used hollow reeds to
look and listen to the internal goings
on of the human anatomy.
• In 1816, modesty prevented French
physician Rene Laennec from placing
his ear next to a young woman’s bare
chest, so he rolled up a newspaper
and listened through it, triggering
the idea for his invention that led to
today’s ubiquitous stethoscope.
History (cont’d)
• As an academic endeavor, the roots of
biomedical engineering reach back to early
developments in electrophysiology, which
originated about 200 years ago.
• An early landmark in electrophysiology
occurred in 1848 when DuBois Reymond
published the widely recognized Ueber die
tierische Elektrizitaet (about the animal
electricity).
• Hermann von Helmholtz, is credited with
applying engineering principles to a
problem in physiology and identifying the
resistance of muscle and nervous tissues to
direct current.
History (cont’d)
• In 1895,Wilhelm Roentgen
accidentally discovered that a
cathode-ray tube could make a sheet
of paper coated with barium
platinocyanide glow, even when the
tube and the paper were in separate
rooms. Roentgen decided the tube
must be emitting some kind of
penetrating rays, which he called “X”
rays for unknown.
What is Biomedical
Engineering?
• Biomedical engineering (BME) is
the application of engineering
principles and design concepts to
medicine and biology for
healthcare purposes.This field
seeks to close the gap between
engineering and medicine.
• The goal is to better understand,
replace or fix a target system to
ultimately improve the quality of
healthcare.
Definition of a Biomedical
Engineer
•Biomedical Engineering integrates physical,
chemical,
• mathematical, and computational sciences and
engineering principles to
•study biology, medicine, behavior, and health. It
advances fundamental
• concepts; creates knowledge from the molecular to
the organ systems
•level; and develops innovative biologics, materials,
processes, implants,
•devices and informatics approaches for the
prevention, diagnosis, and
•treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and
for improving health
