Throughout history, human civilization has continually evolved through the
development of technology. From the rudimentary tools of early societies to the
complex systems of the modern world, technological innovation has been a
driving force behind progress. In the realm of medicine, this progression has
been particularly transformative, with advancements in medical technology
revolutionizing healthcare practices. The 20th century, in particular, marked a
significant turning point, as it saw the rapid development of medical devices,
diagnostic tools, and therapeutic techniques that have reshaped the way we
approach healthcare.
This evolution of medical technology gave rise to the field of biomedical
engineering, an interdisciplinary field that bridges the gap between medicine
and engineering. Biomedical engineers harness principles from engineering and
apply them to healthcare, designing innovative solutions to address complex
medical challenges. This field has played a pivotal role in the development of a
wide range of medical technologies, including imaging systems, prosthetic
devices, and drug delivery systems, among others (Dyro, 2004).
Within the expansive domain of biomedical engineering, clinical
engineering has emerged as a specialized discipline dedicated to the
management and maintenance of medical equipment within healthcare
facilities. Clinical engineers play a crucial role in ensuring the safe and effective
utilization of medical devices, overseeing their procurement, installation, and
ongoing maintenance. Collaborating closely with healthcare professionals,
clinical engineers identify needs and devise solutions to enhance patient care
and streamline healthcare delivery.
This book provides a comprehensive overview of clinical engineering,
covering the fundamental principles, practices, and challenges faced by
professionals in this field. It explores the role of clinical engineers in healthcare
settings, highlighting their contributions to patient safety, equipment
management, and technological innovation. Additionally, it discusses the
evolving landscape of clinical engineering, including emerging technologies Throughout history, human civilization has continually evolved through the
