Background
A discipline tied to electrical engineering for three centuries, bioengineering is the practice of solving problems in the life sciences using an engineering approach. Luigi Galvani's experiments in the late 1700s led to the exploration of the link between electricity and animal physiology. These experiments in which Galvani demonstrated the existence of natural electric current in animal tissue allowed for a far more thorough understanding of the human body. The relationship between electricity and the human body was explored further in the latter half of the 19th century with the work of T. Green, Wilhelm von Ziemssen and John Alexander McWilliam on the heart.
The 20th century has led to many incredible discoveries and breakthroughs, including the pacemaker, electrocardiography, and DNA testing. As we progress into the 21st century, bioengineering will continue to be an active area for technological breakthroughs and exciting new developments which have the potential to greatly improve the quality of life.
The IEEE is heavily involved in bioengineering through the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, which has been active since 1952. The IEEE EMBS publishes both several technical journals like IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, and publications oriented towards the general public like IEEE Pulse. From formalized mathematical theory through experimental science, from technological development to practical clinical applications, IEEE EMBS members support scientific, technological, and educational activities as they apply to the concepts and methods of the physical and engineering sciences in biology and medicine.
