School of Healthcare and Biomedical Engineering

What is Healthcare and Biomedical Engineering ?
New diseases are emerging, and the current diseases are also evolving in various ways as society and environment change. Modern medical technology has made remarkable advances in our ability to diagnose and treat these diseases. In recent, a new biomedical paradigm is being born through the unprecedented convergence of information and communication technology (ICT), artificial intelligence (AI), data science biotechnology (BT), nanotechnology (NT), medicine, and pharmaceutics. Healthcare medical engineering is a study that goes beyond existing methods in the future medical industry to suggest new treatment methods for diseases, early prevention of diseases, and a new medical ecosystem that can manage individual health.
