The Role of Biomedical Engineering in the Life of a Paediatrician.
Main Article Content
Abstract
As in many scientific fields, the increased benefit of biomedical engineering has brought a paradigm shift in the manner in which physicians, and in particular paediatricians, are able to support their patients. The tempo of new applications being introduced, especially with the introduction of artificial intelligence to support diagnosis, has skyrocketed and the end is still not in sight. This is exciting times and for the paediatrician it brings a number of support systems to enhance diagnostic accuracy and improved management. This article highlights some of the rapid developments in biomedical engineering including microelectronics, AI-supported diagnostics, organ transplantation and advances in cancer treatment to name a few.
