Medical Electronics engineers develop devices and procedures that solve medical and health-related problems by combining their knowledge of biology and medicine with engineering principles and practices. Many do research, along with life scientists, chemists, and medical scientists, to develop and evaluate systems and products such as artificial organs, prostheses (artificial devices that replace missing body parts), instrumentation, medical information systems, and health management and care delivery systems. Medical Electronics engineers also design devices used in various medical procedures, imaging systems such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and devices for automating insulin injections or controlling body functions.

Medical Electronics is a specialized discipline that advances knowledge in Engineering and Medicine, through cross-disciplinary activities that integrates the Engineering sciences with the Biomedical Sciences and Clinical Practice.

Most engineers in this specialty need a sound background in another engineering specialty, such as mechanical or electronics engineering, in addition to specialized biomedical training. Some specialties within medical electronics engineering include bio materials, bio mechanics, medical imaging, rehabilitation engineering, and orthopedic engineering.

SYNERGY BETWEEN MEDICINE AND TECHNOLOGY
The core health care science and research in medical sciences will have ever-increasing interface with technology areas. The future will not only be dominated by advances in life sciences but will witness the merging of entire technologies and medicine. This synergy is already happening and we should not be caught unawares. To meet these challenges, a new breed of medical professionals is required which will be conversant with the medical profession as well as the engineering profession, and who will be able to fuse together the medical sciences with the
high -end technologies. On a number of occasions, this need to bring closer the scientists/ engineers and medical professionals has arisen for specific problems and for further advances in medical research and more effective health care.
