What are some key technologies developed through Biomedical Engineering?
Several technologies have been pivotal in advancing epidemiological research:
Diagnostic Devices: Tools like PCR machines and rapid antigen tests are essential for identifying the presence of pathogens quickly and accurately. Wearable Health Monitors: These devices collect real-time health data, which can be used to monitor disease symptoms and spread. Telemedicine Platforms: These systems enable remote consultations and monitoring, reducing the need for physical visits and lowering the risk of disease transmission. Big Data Analytics: Advanced algorithms and machine learning models analyze large datasets to predict disease outbreaks and assess public health interventions.
