Abstract:
With the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, people's understanding of "health" has also changed. The patients with chronic diseases and the people who do not have obvious symptoms of disease all hope to further improve the quality of life as well as the sense of happiness, gain and security. Disabled people and the elderly people with degraded physical functions are in need of corresponding rehabilitation devices. These needs determine that the research scope of biomedical engineering should be expanded, so as to use modern scientific technology and medical methods to study related issues and improve the health of the people. As a result, the concept of "healthcare medical engineering" emerged. In this paper, the definition of healthcare medical engineering were proposed, its significance, characteristics, content, and outlook for the future were introduced. This paper is expected to broaden the horizons and inspire ideas of researchers engaged in biomedical engineering research for future research in finding solutions to many problems in the field of medical and health care, thereby improving the quality of medical services and management, and promoting the development of the national health industry.
