Análisis Crítico sobre la Formación en Ingeniería Biomédica

Biomedical engineering research in Chilean universities - A bibliometric analysis

“…Depending on the interest of the reader, different levels of analysis can be applied, including (1) the use of journal documents, proceedings, or both; (2) the four levels of terms based on the 2023 IEEE Taxonomy (see Section III-C); and (3) year ranges. The research outcomes can be comprehensively examined using the dashboard that we have implemented 10 . Furthermore, we qualitatively analysed the publication abstracts using SCOPUS keywords to associate the works classified in different research areas.…”

“…1) Biofluids. [7], [8], [10], [11], [43]- [46], contributing to undergraduate programs, including BME.…”

“…These programs offer a broad range of areas of specialisations, such as bioinformatics, bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, biomechanics, clinical engineering, medical imaging, informatics, and systems physiology, among others [4], [8], [9]. Biomedical engineers have become crucial in public and private healthcare, the electromedical industry, medical devices and health-biomedical research centres [10].…”

“…Subsequently, two other universities released BME programs: Universidad de Concepción (UdeC) in 2005 and Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH) in 2020. The curricular design of these programs places significant emphasis on integrating theory and practice to ensure that graduates are well-prepared for their future careers [8], [10]. These universities have explicitly implemented different measures to achieve this goal, such as promoting applied research involving BME professionals [8], [11].…”
