1. Introduction
Biomedical engineering can also be called as bioengineering
or BME. It is a multidisciplinary activity applying engineering
principles and materials to medicine and healthcare (e.g., diag-
nostic or therapeutic). It entered the general public conscience
though the proliferation of implantable medical devices, such
as pacemakers and artificial hips, to more futuristic technologies
such as somatic cell engineering and therefore the 3-D printing of
biological organs. Biomedical engineering includes the following:
1. The obtaining of new information and comprehension of living
frameworks through the inventive and substantive utilization
of experimental and analytical methods dependent on the en-
gineering sciences
2. The improvement of new devices, calculations, procedures,
and frameworks that advance science and medication and
improve clinical practice and health care
Biomedical engineering has developed throughout the years
because of headways in science and technology. As clinical prac-
tice turns out to be technological based, a dynamic move is
happening in industry to fulfill the need. Advancements in sci-
ence and engineering are progressively being coordinated away
from traditional technologies toward those required for medici-
nal services.
Deep learning (DL), a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), uses
a progressive degree of artificial neural networks (ANNs),
which empowers machines to process information with a
nonlinear approach. Thereafter, DL has been applied in various
scope of fields including automatic speech recognition, image
