With the popularity of smart bracelets, the general public is no stranger to the application of biomedical engineering, such as watches to measure heartbeat and step count, home blood pressure monitors, and even health care products such as massage chairs.
X-ray machines, which are often used during physical examinations, or large instruments such as magnetic resonance imaging, are indispensable tools for diagnosing diseases.
It is the goal of biomedical engineering to explore various engineering methods to build medical equipment hardware or software to promote human health.
City University of Hong Kong (CityU) has been a pioneer in launching the Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering programme two years ago to nurture talents for the industry.
