機械工程與臨床需求的對話－－以生物力學為例

When Mechanical Engineers Meet Unmet Clinical Needs

生醫產業的發展是目前人類科技中發展迅速的產業之一，台灣一直以來被視為是醫療發展位於前端的國家，政府投入大量的資金發展，致力於生醫產業，在各類醫療器材開發過程中，從臨床的需求結合跨領域的導入，創造出高實用價值、經濟價值尤其重要，透過工程背景串聯機械、電機、影像和生物科技等各專業技術集中於此，改善過去臨床所需的時間、成本與科技導入，作為提升人類生活與扶植的重要發展。 Medical technology industry is one of the rapidly developing industries. The government has invested heavily in this industry and it needs multi-disciplinary cooperation, such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science and biotechnology. The expertise focuses on creating high practical value, economic value, and the benefi t of mankind to improve human life. This article will give some examples of medical devices and assistive technologies developed by the biomechanical and mechanical engineering principles for unmet clinical needs.
