IECEP-KSA-CRC Conducted 2nd Technical Seminars on Biomedical Engineering & Low Current System

IECEP-KSA-CRC conducted its 2nd Technical Seminar for year 2014 on Nurse Call and Other Low Current System & Biomedical Engineering on 28 Feb 2014 at Seteen Palace Hotel. The event was attended by around 56 participants who are mostly electronics practitioners but there are also medical staffs and biomedical engineers including one Jordanian national. The 1st topic “Nurse Call and Other Low Current System” was delivered by Engr. Jeff N. Selvin, an Indian national, while the 2nd topic “Biomedical Engineering” was delivered by Engr. Modesto Gibas, IECEP-KSA-CRC governor.

Engr. Jeff talked about the latest on clinical engineering, a branch of biomedical engineering, where he showcase the Hill-Rom products particularly the Nurse Call system, an IP based communication devices used in the hospital’s rooms so that patients and nurses or doctors can easily communicate. He also talked about infant security and the use of RFID technology to avoid mixing or exchange of babies with the wrong mothers and other for securities purposes. He talked as well about other low current system even about automatic alarms if a nurse for example didn’t washed their hands.

Engr. Moody talked about the interdisciplinary fields of biomedical engineering, from basic physiology of human body to advance biomaterials or tissue engineering. He gave also new applications of 3d printers in artificial organ production and shown videos of actual use of bionic hands as one of the biomechatronics applications. He enumerated majority if not all the different medical equipments being use in the hospitals.
