Evaluation of biomedical equipment within a programme of technological assessment

Images of the Twenty-First Century. Proceedings of the Annual International Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2003
The role that technology assessment plays in making rational policy choices and in supporting the development and diffusion of a technology of proven effectiveness is evaluated. It is argued that technical evaluation is an essential part of assessment. Bioengineers and clinical engineers are encouraged to assume their role as assessors and advisors of ...

Advances in biomedical imaging using THz technology with applications to burn-wound assessment

SPIE Proceedings, 2012
Terahertz (THz) hydration sensing and image has been a topic of increased interest recently due largely to improvements in source and detector technology and the identification of applications where current hydration sensing techniques are insufficient. THz medical imaging is an expanding field of research and tissue hydration plays a key role in the

A multifactorial approach and method for assessing ergonomic characteristics in biomedical technologies

2012
The ergonomic assessment of healthcare products is becoming regulatory, but current state of art relies on checklist of end-users interview about general or limited aspects. Ergonomics deals with the human as a whole and as a part of a more complex system; instead the assessment of objects and products is often treated separating the different ...

Innovation strategy management survey of the Chilean biomedical industry. Assessment of windows of opportunities to reduce technological gaps

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, 2018
SummaryThe convergence of different theories (ie, catch‐up effect and windows of opportunities) allows for the interpretation of different “technological innovation gaps” in Chile's biomedical industry. It is common knowledge that Chile has always had an economy almost exclusively based on services, commodities, and mainly in the exploitation of ...

Technology assessment in healthcare: A means for pursuing the goals of biomedical engineering

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1993
The goals of biomedical engineering include the improvement of health and life quality of mankind. However, the contribution of biomedical engineering to those worthy ends must be more clearly related. Biomedical engineers should become more active in demonstrating to policymakers and other parties in healthcare the value of the contributions of ...

Biomedical and bioethical issues in Parliamentary TA and in Health Technology Assessment

Poiesis & Praxis, 2004
HTA and TA institutions at national parliaments (PTA) both share the same origin and of course have objectives and some of their methods in common. Nevertheless both TA branches developed in some distance during the 1970s and 1980s. Drawing on the case of biomedicine this paper outlines the differences between HTA and PTA, highlighting the “clinical ...
