Abstract :
Engineering training can profitably be applied to medical problems, both for better understanding of biological mechanisms and for development of more effective clinical methods. Also from clinical investigations, one can often derive concepts applicable to nonbiological systems. Examples of developments from clinically-oriented research are cited to show some of the possibilities and problems in this field.
