Abstract

The improvement of patient monitoring systems, treatment alternatives, and diagnostic capabilities, medical engineering's incorporation of electronics has revolutionized healthcare. The invention of the EKG, diagnostic imaging technologies, and robotic surgical systems are only a few of the noteworthy turning points in the history of electronic applications in medicine that are examined in this article. Through developments in wearable technology and telemedicine, the study highlights the vital role that electronic devices play in enhancing diagnostic precision, enabling remote patient monitoring, and enabling individualized therapy. The paper review discusses the difficulties in putting these technologies into practice, such as legal restrictions and privacy issues. Through a very careful and wide analysis of various some vital electronic based machines used in medical applications The study provides a Comparative table on the integration of electronics in medical engineering applications and a suggestion for future research and innovation possibilities, including the possible effects of machine learning and artificial intelligence on diagnostic procedures. In conclusion, the integration of electronics in medical engineering represents a pivotal shift toward more efficient, precise, and patient-centered healthcare solutions.
