Biomedical engineering applies engineering principles and techniques to medicine and biology. Biomedical engineers work to solve complex problems involving human health and medical technology. They manage medical equipment and systems to ensure safety and effectiveness. Key responsibilities include service contract management, data processing, coordinating service agreements, installing equipment, and training end users. The biomedical engineering department supports patient care by applying engineering skills to healthcare and assists with equipment procurement, maintenance, and evaluation.

4.  Application of engineering technology to fields of
medicine and biology.
 It combines design and problem solving skills of
engineering with medical and biological sciences
What is Biomedical Engineering ?

5. What a Biomedical Engineering department
does?
 The Biomedical engineer is, by education and
training, a problem solver, working with complex
human and technological systems.
 the biomedical engineer functions as the
technology manager for Medical equipment
systems and ensures safety & effective working of
equipments.
 The responsibilities in this setting include service
contract management, data processing systems for
managing the medical equipment and coordination
of service agreements and in-house operations
installation of equipments and imparting training
to end users.

6.  The responsibilities include financial or budgetary
management, service contract management, data
processing systems for managing the medical
equipment, and coordination of service
agreements and in-house operations, installation
of equipments and facilities.
 Biomedical engineering department also fill other
important functions in assuring that the medical
equipment is safe and effective. These functions
include participation in the planning process and in
the assessment of new technology

7.  Biomedical Engineering department supports and
advances patient care by applying engineering and
managerial skills to health care.
 The Biomedical engineering department also
assists or give their opinion regarding
specifications for the replacement or purchasing of
new equipment, the monitoring of contracts from
companies who provide services to the Prathima
Institute of Medical Sciences and the evaluation of
equipment on trial
 As part of the recommendations from the
accreditation standards, where ever possible,
traceable records of service carried out on
equipment by in house engineers or companies are
maintained by biomedical engineering department.

8. Benefits out of a Biomedical Engineer
 The presence of expert personnel to ensure that
equipment in our hospital conforms to relevant
safety standards.
 Equipment is managed cost-effectively as our
hospital asset. External contracts alone cannot
fulfill this important aspect.
 Improved reliability of medical equipments in our
hospital.
 Impartial and expert advice to management in the
procurement of medical equipment.
 Cost savings to the institution (by means of
inhouse servicing & sourcing of equipment part at
at a cheaper rate).
