Biomedical engineering' is part of WikiProject Transhumanism, which aims to organize, expand, clean up, and guide Transhumanism related articles on Wikipedia. If you would like to participate, you can edit this article, or visit the project page for more details.TranshumanismWikipedia:WikiProject TranshumanismTemplate:WikiProject TranshumanismTranshumanism articles
Add Transhumanism navigation template on the bottom of all transhumanism articles; (use {{Transhumanism}} or see navigation template)
Add Transhumanism info box to all transhumanism related talk pages (use {{Wpa}} or see info box)
Add [[Category:transhumanism]] to the bottom of all transhumanism related articles, so it shows up on the list of transhumanism articles
Maintenance / Etc
Find/cite sources for all positions of an article (see citing sources.
Try to expand stubs, however, some "new" articles may be neologisms, as this is common with positions on theories on life and may be suitable for deletion (see deletion process)
Watch the list of transhumanism related articles and add to accordingly (see transhumanism articles)

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: localorglobal
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 locallyorglobally.
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:

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 4 external links on Biomedical engineering. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

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
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 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 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.

The following is unsourced and was moved here per WP:PRESERVE. Per WP:BURDEN please do not restore without finding independent, reliable sources, checking the content against them, and citing them, and ensuring that this content has appropriate WP:WEIGHT in the article overall.
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.
1997: First Indigenous endovascular coronary stent (Kalam-Raju stent) was developed by the Care Foundation.
Biomedical engineering has provided advances in medical technology to improve human health. As per the statistics of the National Academy of Engineering, about 32000 biomedical engineers are currently working in various areas of health care technology.

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
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
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?
