“…Biomedical engineering is the fastest growing engineering discipline and will play an important role in transforming future medical practice and health care. Availability and qualification of professionals with solid engineering knowledge and a broad range of competencies, ready to adapt their knowledge, skills and attitudes to meet the changing demands of the health care sectors, will depend on the capacity of the education system to adapt courses, objectives and programs to face the new health care requirements and challenges (Pallikarakis & Moore, 2007).…”

The market of tools, devices, and processes for medical treatments and diagnosis has been growing at a very fast pace, driven by the multi-disciplinary development of integrated innovative technologies. In this article, the way artificial organs design is currently taught is analyzed and discussed relative to the evolution of the methods of artificial organs design as substitution of physical and metabolic bodily functions. Particular attention is devoted to the evolution from empirical attempts at providing generic replacement of a single mechanical function to a more systematic multi-purpose approach that increasingly accounts for biological issues. As a result, at the forefront of research, the paradigm is shifting from mechanical/electronic prostheses towards the development in vitro of tissue engineered organs/tissues, where the artificial part is fully integrated with the biological counterpart. Personalized solutions for each patient rather than a generic solution good for all patients are also sought.

“…During the last decade, biomedical technology and medical devices are proved to be a crucial factor in healthcare (Pallikarakis & Moore, 2007;Iakovidis et al, 2007). An essential requirement for the healthcare environment, where the free movement of medical devices is a substantial part of world trade, is the attainment of the highest possible level of patient safety, through strict certification criteria, rules and limitations on medical devices released in the European Market.…”

Through the past two decades numerous efforts were undertaken towards a digital convergence in the Greek National Healthcare system. E-Health in Greece was initially perceived and developed locally (per healthcare institution) without accrediting the capability of digital technology. This together with the lack of a unified coding and classification system for medical devices not only created system interoperability failures, but also procurement, financial and BIT management issues. Registry of medical devices is a web based application, which has been developed by the National Evaluation Center of Quality & Technology in Health to fill the existing gap and is continuously updated during the last five years in close collaboration with medical device's market and healthcare professionals. Today the Registry is in a mature phase and ready for widespread use. By this way, it is possible to conduct electronic auctions widely, gained complete and accurate picture of the types, quantities and prices of products and mainly made possible the real needs assessment and early planning

A new challenge in the biomedical engineering is the remote patient monitoring by web applications. This paper proposes a first instance of diagnosis that guide the patients to a first medical point, with the advantage of a flexible structure, suitable for the next web developers, like students from bioinformatics universities. These kinds of applications stand for a sub-component of the telemedicine, as web-assisted medical E-healthcare diagnosis points. A diseases-symptoms database was uploaded in order to establish a final diagnosis. The main scope of this article is to offer a web protocol for medical diagnosis, under educational projects, as application to learning, bioinformatics and telemedicine. The paper presents an original software developed in HTML and its subsidiaries, as a flexible student environment.
