BMED

BioMedical Engineering Design Team

Who We are

BMED, the Biomedical Engineering Design Team, is a special interest group that designs assistive technology and diagnostic tools within the biomedical sector.

Assistive technologies are used to improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities. 

Diagnostic tools are used to provide quantitative data for clinician and patient use to better understand/visualize the progression of health concerns.
