CT scanners, insulin, and MRI machines, for example Medical bioengineering can be divided into two categories: assistive and adaptive
Assistive Bioengineering • Technology that is developed to help organisms, but DOES NOT change them • ASSIST = HELP • Examples: – Eyeglasses
The broad definition of assistive technology usually encompasses the Bioengineering is the application of engineering principles or processes to the
and even biomedical engineering applied to disability this definition views assistive technology as a broad range of devices, strategies, and/or
Technology developed to help living organisms and DOES change them • ADAPT = CHANGE • Examples: – Lasik Eye Surgery – Knee replacement
