Blocked Links Found on Biomedical engineering[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected links on Biomedical engineering which have been added to the block list, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blocked because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the block list, you may request that it is verified. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the block list locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

  • http://newsletter.sgs.com/eNewsletterPro/uploadedimages/000006/sgs-safeguards-02412-exemptions-from-rohs-ii-directive-a4-en-12.pdf
    Triggered by \bsgs\.com\b on the local block list

If you would like me to provide more information on the talk page, contact User:Cyberpower678 and ask him to program me with more info.

Merger proposal[edit]

I propose that Health technology be merged into Biomedical engineering. I think that the content in the Health technology article can easily be explained in the context of Biomedical engineering, and the Biomedical engineering article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Health technology will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Lucasstar1 (talk) 16:12, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge - This article doesn't look like it will improve and has many things to do with Biomedical engineering Lucasstar1 (talk) 23:53, 27 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not merge - I think that a) "Health technology" can improve a great deal (simply expanding the section about professions, and the general definition would go a long way); and b) biomedical engineering is not sufficiently related to health technology to complete the merge. At best, "Biomedical engineering" should have a short section about medical technology with a see-also link. Biomedical engineering is the process of creating health technology by using the principles of engineering, and is more of a profession than a type of technology (as "health technology" is). Health technology can be developed without the use of engineering, but biomedical engineering will always create health technology, by definition. All in all, the article "Health technology" needs to stand alone and should not be merged. -- 2ReinreB2 (talk) 01:07, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not merge - I agree with User:2ReinreB2 wholeheartedly. "Health technology" is a wide catch-all net for technology use as applied to the healthcare realm. I'd be more tempted to merge it into Health informatics, though it's largely specific to health care technology. Health technology includes medical devices and procedural equipment, among other items. Biomedical engineering is a much more specific division of health technology.Lostraven (talk) 21:40, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Do not merge" -Health Technology is not the same as Biomedical Engineering — Preceding unsigned comment added by Madimyers (talk • contribs) 14:01, 23 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Do not merge The article you want to merge with is very small and most people know the field of biomedical engineering by its current name which is more explicit than health technology. Ralphw (talk) 23:58, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science[edit]

What relationship does mechanical engineering and computer science have with biomedical engineering. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:601:8C00:EE:21D0:6231:90FF:7AEA (talk) 03:04, 15 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanical engineering being applied to medicine and human biology was the basis to this engineering field. Many of the mechanical engineering principles are being used in this field, but just in the application of medicine and not machinery.
Computer science also plays a large role in the medical device industry within the coding of these devices. Amisere (talk) 14:12, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History

Biomedical engineering has existed for centuries.

  • 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. This set off a flurry of research into the tissue-penetrating and tissue-destroying properties of X-rays, a line of research that ultimately produced the modern array of medical imaging technologies and virtually eliminated the need for exploratory surgery.
Major milestones

Biomedical engineering achievements range from early devices, such as crutches, platform shoes, and wooden teeth to more modern equipment, including pacemakers, heart-lung machine, dialysis machines, diagnostic equipment, imaging technologies of every kind, and artificial organs, medical implants and advanced prosthetics.

regulation of medical devices[edit]

I feel like the entire section on regulatory issues is too long and should perhaps be altogether deleted- surely better to link to the main article on medical device regulation and leave it at that? Distracts from the main topic. Also, this and the education sections are very USA-centric. Impossiblesouls (talk) 23:31, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Impossiblesouls
I totally agree that it's too long and takes away from the main topic, but I feel it should be moved to a more relevant page instead of being subjected to full deletion (unless it is duplicative information from elsewhere). Ambndms (talk) 02:21, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ambndms very good point, I'll look over related articles to see if it is duplicative info or not Impossiblesouls (talk) 09:18, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Impossiblesouls It's good to see some activity here!
I'm not seeing this wording elsewhere, so I'm leaning towards preserving the language that's here (at least on the backend).
Maybe a new page like "Regulation of Biotechnology" is warranted? I'm not seeing much in that realm as a page other than the Medical Device Regulation Act itself. Maybe "Regulation of Biotechnology" could be a home for the Medical Device Regulation Act as well as what's here. Kind of similar to Bioethics, but with regulation instead of ethics.. Thoughts?
