Biomedical instrumentation focuses on developing instruments for measuring, recording, and transmitting data from the human body. It includes systems for medical diagnostics and therapies, with various sensor technologies and calibration methods. The future of this field promises advancements in prosthetics and brain communication technology.

Instrumentation System
• A Measuring system is required to compare a quantity with a standard or
to provide an output that can be related to the quantity being measured
• The quantity to be measured is detected by an input transducer or sensor.
• The detected quantity may be converted to a mechanical or electrical form
of energy

13. • Future of
Bioinstrumentation is very
bright. Day by day new
ideas are researched and
implemented. Such as;
– harnessing the power of
the body to power devices
– bringing more advanced
prosthetics
– new methods of diagnosis
and treatment of diseases
and problems which were
not there before.
– Etc.

14. Brain hacking
• Brain hacking refers the
possibility to attack the
human brain to extract
sensitive information such
as data and memories,
including also
the capability to inject new
information.
• The art of technology
allow to perceive changes
in the magnetic field
related to brain activity
making possible reading of
people’s thoughts.

15. • When thinking of the future Biomedical instrumentation
will have, we can be sure that it will have an important
role in bringing about a better understanding and ways
to communicate with the brain.
