Dr. Habib Kovari, the originator of the medical cybernetics as a university discipline for the first time in Iran told reporters on Saturday that the discipline would help develop medical precision machines, processes and equipment strategic to the future of medicine; “if launched, medical cybernetics will find Iran as its fourth cradle as a young discipline to be taught in universities after the US, UK, and Finland; the Ministry of Health received the preliminary drafts of documents calling for the establishment of the discipline in Iranian medical universities in 2015 and was notified to all medical universities across the nation,” he told the press.
“Future graduates of the field would be adept technicians in design and development of sensitive medical measurement machine and bioinformatics equipment such as MRI, FMRI, medical analysis systems, LASERs, and surgeon robots,” he added.
“If lent due importance, the discipline would have a status equal to nanotechnology, also a sister discipline of incipient importance in Iranian academic and industrial settings, and will help country and academic centers to design and manufacture highly advanced machines to bring about saving money in terms of cutting imports of foreign products,” said Kovari, who holds a post-doctoral degree in Medical Cybernetics from a Finish university.
“An interdisciplinary course, medical cybernetics would provide a common ground for students of medicine and engineering to work in cooperation and to come to a shared understanding of mechanisms of human body and intelligent machines and systems’ interactions,” Kovari added, predicting that students would be admitted to universities for medical cybernetics beginning February 2017.
