¿Qué hace un INGENIERO BIOMÉDICO? | Carreras de Salud, IA y Prótesis Reales

Are you interested in the world of medicine but passionate about technology and programming? In this episode of our podcast, we interview Alejandra, a final-year Biomedical Engineering student at the UPV (Polytechnic University of Valencia), who reveals the truth about one of the most promising career paths in the job market. Discover what a biomedical engineer actually does, which subjects are the most challenging in the curriculum, and the key differences with degrees like biomedicine or biotechnology. Alejandra also explains how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is applied to medical image processing to improve the diagnosis of diseases such as ulcerative colitis. And that's not all! We have a live demonstration with the student group Daidalonic, where they show us how a low-cost myoelectric arm prosthesis for children works using muscle signals (EMG) and how they are developing Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) technology to control devices with the mind.
