(Replace this first paragraph with a brief description of your new category. This guidance will appear in the category selection area, so try to keep it below 200 characters.)
Use the following paragraphs for a longer description, or to establish category guidelines or rules:
Why should people use this category? What is it for?
How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?
What should topics in this category generally contain?
Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?
A space to discuss biomedical engineering innovations, careers, research, and applications bridging healthcare and technology.
Why should people use this category?
Biomedical engineering connects medicine and engineering from medical devices to imaging, biomaterials, AI in healthcare, and rehabilitation tools. This category gives professionals, students, and researchers a focused area to exchange ideas, share opportunities, and discuss innovations.
How exactly is this different from other categories?
Unlike general healthcare or engineering categories, biomedical engineering sits at the intersection of both. It is more specialized than “medicine” alone and more application driven than “general engineering.” This uniqueness justifies a separate space.
What should topics in this category generally contain?
Do we need this category? Can we merge with another?
It deserves its own category because merging into “medicine” or “engineering” would dilute the interdisciplinary focus. Biomedical engineering is rapidly growing worldwide, and a dedicated category will help structure conversations better and attract the right audience.
