Healthcare science staff working in this field are primarily involved in:

  • creating computer-related interfaces to control specialist medical equipment
  • commissioning (and approving) computer-related interfaces for clinical use
  • ensuring that the equipment and computer-related interfaces are continually fit for purpose
  • constructing software, either to model biological processes, investigations and treatments or to investigate and manipulate data produced by medical devices
